Social Value
Community Rail is a key enabler of projects which deliver social value, making a positive contribution to the long-term wellbeing and resilience of individuals, communities, and society in general through changes to people's lives. The Rail Safety and Standards Board suggests that Community Rail volunteers generate £27.6 million of social value a year, and that's probably only part of the picture.
​
At Oxfordshire Community Rail Partnership (OxCRP) delivering social value through our projects is one of our most important areas of work. Our first projects in this area are detailed below, and we'll be adding more over time, so check back in regularly.
If you want to find out more detail about the outcomes we delivered, or you have an idea for working with us on a project that delivers social value, drop us a line or fill out our contact form to get in touch.

Travel Confidence Resources
There are lots of offers and opportunities out there to support people to use public transport confidently and afforably. We've created two bespoke travel confidence resources that put all of this information in one place, making travelling to work, education and training opportunities easier. Our "Cutting the cost of travel" leaflet has all the advice and is downloadable from this website.

Visits to Job Centre Plus
We have been visiting Job Centres to engaging with job seekers and employability professionals. Our mission? To break down travel barriers and open doors to employment opportunities! We believe that by addressing transport barriers, we're not just helping people reach job interviews – we're paving the way for brighter futures.
