Transform - Community and Environmental Grants
4th October 2017
TransPennine Express services connect communities across the North of England and Scotland, providing fast and reliable train services between key cities and towns.
Whilst our services enable these communities to grow, we recognise the importance of supporting them and helping to facilitate change in other ways. We have a Sustainable Development Strategy and Plan which sets out our agenda to work as a responsible business, which includes as part of it our commitment to offer funds for local initiatives.

How much funding is available There will be £50,000 of funding available per franchise year under this scheme - £350k over the lifetime of the franchise. Each organisation or group may apply for a maximum of £5,000. We look forward to receiving your applications for this scheme and wish you the best of luck.
