Southern railway fund invites applications
A variety of groups are eligible to apply for funding from South Western Railway Customer and Communities Improvement Fund.
South Western Railway is inviting organisations to apply for grants from its Customer and Communities Improvement Fund (CCIF).
CCIF is intended to support small and medium-sized community projects which can be completed over the course of the year. In previous rounds of funding, it has supported more than 70 projects with a value of over £6 million across the network – which includes Bournemouth and Poole stations.
It welcomes bids from grassroot or neighbourhood groups, local authorities (such as councils), elected representatives, civic societies, charities, sports teams, social clubs, or any other organisation with a great idea for how CCIF may be able to help their community.
Applications for this new round of funding can be made for projects that will be started and completed between 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024. The closing date for bids is 11.59pm on Friday 16 September 2022.
CCIF manager, Veronika Krcalova, said: “We are delighted to invite community organisations to apply for funding for their projects from the Customer and Communities Improvement Fund.
“Backing those initiatives that benefit local communities around our stations is just one of the ways in which SWR can show its support for the people who live and work on our network.
“I look forward to seeing all of the brilliant bids and applications we receive.”
You can apply now using an easy to follow application form, supported by a guidance booklet available at: https://www.southwesternrailway.com/ccif
