Story

One Million Steps for Our Railway Family

This May, we’re stepping up in a big way. To celebrate National Walking Month, our teams are taking on the Million Step Team Challenge.

It’s a high-energy, month-long mission to collectively conquer one million steps on a virtual journey from London to Edinburgh. That means each teammate is hitting a target of over 8,000 steps every single day, all to ensure that no one in our railway family has to face hardship alone.

The Challenge: May 1st – May 31st

Our teams are joining colleagues from across the UK rail network in a friendly but fierce competition. We’ll be tracking our progress on a live leaderboard.

The Goal: 1,000,000 steps per team - walking a virtual route from London to Edinburgh.

Every step logged and every pound raised provides a direct lifeline to those in need.

Your donations make fresh starts possible. They ensure that when a member of our railway family falls, there is a community ready to catch them.

Show Your Support

Cheer on our teams as they take on this challenge . Your sponsorship doesn't just motivate our walkers; it provides essential funding for RBF to continue its life-changing work.

Thank you for standing (and walking) with our Railway Family.
