THE POWER OF COMMUNITY
Community Station Partnership
The Chase Line Community Station Partnership is managed and operated by volunteers to support volunteers and their communities.
We have three trustees who volunteer their time and commitment to help look after and attract funding for our volunteers (station adopters) at the five stations along the Chase railway route between Rugeley Trent Valley and Landywood.

The Chase Line is a Non-Profit Organisation.
Our object is: To support and sustain the voluntary activities of those engaged in adopting the railway stations along the Chase Line railway routes between Rugeley Trent Valley and Landywood, known as The Chase Line.
We believe in positively contributing to the local community's wellbeing by enabling everyone to benefit from social value through a range of activities and enhancements at the railway stations along 'The Chase Line' route.
