We are holding a briefing event to provide potential applicants with more information about the Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) Community Fund. This grant programme aims to improve local spaces and services along its 70-mile route between Manchester, Huddersfield, Leeds and York.
A total of £175,000 is to be distributed along the route this year, with funding available in the form of small grants (£1,000 - £5,000) or medium grants (£5,000 - £20,000).
The TRU Community Fund grants programme is based on delivering a project which aligns to one or a number of the following the four pillars that make up the TRU sustainability and social value strategy - ‘Our Guiding Compass’:
- Northern jobs: job opportunities, upskilling, training and work experience for local people, in areas of high deprivation, supporting under-represented groups
- Enhancing the environment: restoring nature, reducing carbon footprint, adopting circular economy principals and supporting sustainability
- Satisfied customers: a safe, reliable and accessible railway, station facilities and or environment in the immediate vicinity for local people
- Working with our communities: investing in wellbeing, education and community spaces, green space
This event will give potential applicants information about the broader context of the grants, the eligibility criteria, the application process and give opportunity for attendees to ask any questions.
