Travel support and attendance bursaries
We are committed to making the Community Rail Awards as inclusive and accessible as possible. To support this aim we are pleased to offer the following, on a first-come-first-served basis:
- A limited number of complimentary rail tickets, courtesy of Rail Delivery Group – shortlistees can apply for two complimentary, flexible return rail tickets to the Awards presentation event in Leeds.
- A limited number of attendance bursaries – shortlistees can apply for a bursary, to support individuals and groups who may otherwise face financial barriers to attending the Awards presentation event. Note: these bursaries are only issued to shortlistees, where their train operator is unable to support their accommodation/other expenses, and where they do not have access to other funds for this purpose.
