The requirement
Community Rail Network – a national membership organisation representing 76 community rail partnerships and over 1,300 station groups – sought support in shaping its political engagement strategy ahead of a major summer reception at the House of Commons in July 2025.
The solution
JFG Communications assisted by researching and mapping relevant parliamentarians, creating tailored approaches to encourage broad attendance at the reception. The team also provided administrative support and practical advice on organising a successful parliamentary event, drawing on experience of working in Parliament and hosting similar occasions.
The outcome
The event attracted 30 parliamentarians from both Houses and across parties, alongside community rail staff and members, volunteers, policy and industry stakeholders. Post-event follow-up helped maintain momentum and informed an updated stakeholder map to guide future engagement.
