GWR Community Fund Opens to Applications (West & South West of England, Wales, London & Midlands)

Great Western Railway (GWR) has launched a new fund to support local communities and address areas of social need along the train operator’s network.

As part of GWR’s franchise agreement with the Department for Transport, the train operator will award funding to community and voluntary groups, local authorities, places of study, and not-for-profit organisations for projects that open up rail travel to more communities by focusing on inclusion and diversity, engagement and education, environmental benefit, economic growth, and making rail travel more accessible.

The funding is made available through the GWR Community Fund which closes to applications at midnight on the 27th June 2022.
