LNER has announced the launch of its Customer and Communities Investment Fund (CCIF) to support community initiatives across its network.
There are three priorities that the fund supports: Better for People, Better for Places and Better for Planet.
- Better for People
- Fostering a culture of equality that champions diversity and inclusivity.
- Creating a culture of positive mental health, bringing people and communities together.
- Better for Places.
- Creating skilled and inclusive communities along the networks that can thrive.
- Better for Planet
- Conserve resources, reduce waste and reuse where possible.
- With a particular focus on biodiversity, sustainable travel and waste reduction and the circular economy
Those applying do not need to be located within the immediate proximity of an LNER station; instead, the fund is open to those located within 15 miles of the LNER route in England and Scotland. See the LNER route map for further details.
The maximum amount that can be applied for is £10,000.
The deadline for applications is 23:59pm on Monday 2 September 2024.
