The Network Rail Performance Team are supporting the Rail Aid Get on Track 2021 challenge, to raise money for Railway Children.  Throughout the Autumn, we'll be running, walking, cycling, swimming, stepping, canoeing and more - rain or shine - contributing our kilometres to the industry effort to virtually cover 26,200 km.  Every penny you can give to support the cause is much appreciated. 

Since it was founded, Railway Children has helped more than a quarter of a million children, previously stricken by abuse, poverty and starvation, come to know a better life; living in hope and without fear. Each year the charity supports children from the UK, East Africa and India who, through neglect or poverty, find themselves in unbearable situations, homeless and on the street. 

The pandemic wiped out Railway Children's extensive events programme last year and has continued to affect them this year, including the cancellation of their main fundraiser, The Railway Ball, for the second year running. This leaves a gap of over £1 million in funding for Railway Children over two years, at a time when the children the charity supports need our services more than ever. 

 Donating to Rail Aid 2021 will mean Railway Children can keep on providing protection, support and opportunity to children across the world.
