Station Adoption
We manage around 470 stations and over half of them have station adoption groups. We support a growing number of these groups often known as ‘Friends of’. They engage their local community in their station making a more welcoming environment through a range of projects or initiatives including gardening, floral displays, artwork, partnerships with local schools and community support groups. They also bring redundant buildings back into use for community projects.
Groups come in many different shapes and sizes, there are no fixed rules, just that there is more than one person involved! If you are interested in starting a station adoption group for your local station please contact us by email at [email protected]
Our regional community and sustainability managers will work closely with Community Rail Partnerships and station adoption groups to help them develop plans. We have a range of material that may help, especially for anyone establishing a new group, these include safety briefings and guidance for activities.
