Despite the challenges of the past year, it is clear that rail has rolled up its sleeves to help those in greatest need. In the article below, Railway Children talk about the incredible effort the industry has made in the last 12 months to help them support its fundraising effort, Rail Aid 2021.
Rail Aid 2021 is coming to a close, and what a success it has been!
Rail Aid 2021 has almost wrapped up, and Railway Children wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has participated this year!
The rail industry has been incredible and raised a grand total of over £700,000 in support of Rail Aid! All of these events and fundraising efforts will massively help fill the financial hole the charity has witnessed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and help them provide support to vulnerable young people in the UK, India, and East Africa.
A massive thank you to all of the Rail Aid 2021 sponsors who made this year’s events possible!
- Gold Sponsors: Angel Trains, Porterbrook, Siemens Mobility, and Worldline
- Silver Sponsors: Colas Rail and Vinci Construction
- Bronze Sponsors: Granger Reis, HS1, KPMG, SYSTRA, Thales and WSP
And thank you to the Rail Business Daily team for promoting all of the Rail Aid events; your support has been much appreciated!
If you still want to participate in Rail Aid and will be in London this December, TfL is running the Emirates Airline festive cable air! For every festive cabin experience sold, a donation is made to Railway Children, and the experience is suitable for young people of all ages – and available at weekends throughout December and throughout the school holidays from 20 December until 1 January. Tickets can be purchased here!
The Railway Ball is back
Next year, rail’s Number 1 fundraiser Railway Ball is returning! The ball will be on Friday 25 November 2022, and it’s sure to be the industry event of the season after two years away! Early Bird tickets are on sale now, and you can purchase them here. Also, be on the lookout for future announcements in 2022 on ways you can support Railway Children!
