Taking Our Communities Places

We serve communities across South London, Sussex, Kent, Surrey and Hampshire and we are committed to supporting local communities across our network.

Art in the Community

FotoDocument, in partnership with Southern Railway, launched its inaugural series of photo essays at Brighton railway station in May 2012, highlighting positive solutions to environmental issues. The year long exhibition is displayed on 40 large panels along the 70 meter east wall inside the station and is free to view.

For details on the latest exhibition visit fotodocument.org.

Community Fundraising

One way in which we can support the communities around our network is to support local fundraising events. We do this in several ways but one popular act of support is the donation of a raffle prize:

"Thank you for your support which is most appreciated."

“We've now totted up all the monies received from the raffle and we're thrilled to advise that, overall, it raised the fantastic sum of £1,350! This money will go towards the cost of permanent practice nets for the club which will particularly benefit our 200 strong junior section.”

“Thank you so much for your recent response to our plea for help – your generous donation means a very great deal to us in our attempt to raise £10,000."

If you would like to seek sponsorship from Southern, please contact us via our online sponsorship form. We only have a limited budget but we welcome applications from across our network.
