SELCRP are proud to have launched a new project in partnership with City of Sanctuary Bolton. The ‘Stations of Sanctuary’ project aims to make Bolton Station a more accessible and welcoming place for refugees and people seeking asylum, and to develop a system of accreditation for other stations to consider the way in which they offer support for service users from a variety of ethnic backgrounds.

60 Second Stress Relief
At a time when many people had suffered increased stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues following the pandemic, SELCRP wanted to offer 60‐second stress relief workshops and goody bags to passengers and station staff Manchester Piccadilly and Wigan North Western Stations. The project aimed to provide customers with a positive experience to promote health and wellbeing, and help people feel more relaxed in returning to the railway. We also wanted to offer this to station staff as a way to offer support and encourage engagement in community rail.
