[Heart Community Rail @HeartCRP]

Happy #CommunityRailWeek!

This week, @CommunityRail Partnerships and station volunteer groups just like us will be raising the profile of #CommunityRail and celebrating the inspiring work happening across Britain to connect communities with their railway.

Over the years we’ve worked with numerous groups with barriers to train travel. One such project was our Creative Platforms project with Emily Kaye and @cwwmind , where we looked at how we could use art to help those with anxiety around travel.

Check out the activity booklet and videos Emily created and let us know if you try out some of the activities! https://t.co/47alFFjR0f
