Story

Railway Family Week - 26th April to 2nd May 2021- a week-long fundraising event organised and hosted by the Railway Benefit Fund.

The Railway Benefit Fund is the only UK charity solely dedicated to supporting current, former and retired railway people and their families.

The purpose of Railway Family Week is to raise awareness and fundraise. Our goal is to raise £50,000 which will enable us to support even more current or former rail workers who are going through difficult times.

Railway Family Week will consist of a range of fundraising events revolving around the year that the Railway Benefit Fund was founded- 1858. Teams or individuals can target raising £1,858, or completing (cycling, walking, running, swimming) 1,858km or 1,858m, or do 10 press-ups at 18:58 every night for a month, or any variations you can think of on that theme!
