“Just a quick reminder that the deadline for our Customer and Community Improvement Fund is 12:00 noon on Monday 2 February 2026.
The fund supports small and medium rail-related projects that can be delivered during the 2026/27 financial year (or academic year for in-school projects). Projects must relate to the railway and address an area of social need. We welcome applications of all sizes, though we are particularly interested in small and medium projects. The maximum bid is £25,000, with last year's average award being £12,500. You can view guidance, case studies, and eligibility details on our dedicated webpage here.
For more information or to discuss your ideas before making a submission, please email us at Community.Fund@GWR.com.
Best wishes,
Olivia
