CHARITY PARTNERS

Railway Benefit Fund supports the heartbeat of the UK’s railways.

For over 165 years, we have offered a helping hand to the people behind the UK’s railways and their families when life throws up the most difficult challenges – such as illness, injury or financial hardship.

Every four minutes, someone reaches out for our help or advice. In return, we’re there for them.

As a non-membership charity, we rely solely on the generosity of our supporters to continue our work which focuses exclusively on the UK railway family. Whether our train drivers, station and maintenance crew , supporting staff or other key workers, we want to ensure they can always be at their best.

Your contributions make a real difference to people across the UK railway family, so join us on our journey.
