Story

Every year, we strive to bring happiness and relief to railway families during the festive season. Your generous donation will not only help make this possible but also bring you the joy of giving. Imagine the impact your contribution can make on a family facing hardship.

Last year, Katherine's world turned upside down when she was unexpectedly evicted from her home. With nowhere to turn, she reached out to RBF for support.

Thanks to our advice and financial assistance, she secured a new home for herself and her two daughters, allowing her to create a magical Christmas for her children during a difficult year.

Thank you so much. This has meant the world to my children and me. I have been overwhelmed by the support from RBF, your kindness and advice through my darkest hour gave me hope. It’s been a really tough year, but Christmas was made special with the help from RBF, my daughters were over the moon

Donate to our Christmas appeal to ensure we can support as many rail children as possible this year and in 2025.
