Friends of Airedale Line

Friends of Airedale Line (FoAL) is a federation of station adoption teams.

The aims of the organisation are

· To promote practical environmental enhancement works by volunteers, businesses and local authorities for the benefit of the community, visitors and train passengers

· To publicise and raise awareness of the benefits of ‘green transport plans’, the train and attractions of the stations and their environs – and to increase station ‘footfall’

· To encourage community involvement and ownership, particularly by young people and schools, in conservation, environment and associated education artworks, poetry, music, competition (and similar events) – at the stations and their environs

· To encourage local businesses to improve their own properties and to sponsor environmental enhancement in the station environs

· To campaign for improved infrastructure facilities and services

· To work in partnership with all stakeholders to achieve these aims

· To support Station Adoption Teams

· To achieve any other similar aims identified and agreed by the organisation
