Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit the JustGiving Team page for Young Rail Professionals Scotland's RailTrek 2021 on Saturday 28th August 2021! We will be trekking 30km from Old Kilpatrick to Helensburgh for Railway Children! Railway Children fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation. In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'. They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story. Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Their pioneering work enables them to get to street children before the streets get to them. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
