East Midlands Railway is offering funding to community groups along the lines it serves in Lincolnshire.

The unique scheme aims to support communities and organisations along the routes that EMR serve and is designed to inspire projects that make a difference to those that need it the most.

The fund is available to community rail partnerships, station adoption groups, charities, community interest companies, schools, youth organisations and sports clubs within 15km of an EMR station.
