Why is regular giving important?

Regular giving provides us with consistent funding, allowing us to plan and implement long-term initiatives that support railway workers and their families across the UK. Regular donations contribute to building a more secure and supportive environment for those who keep the railways running.

How does regular giving foster a sense of community in the railway industry?

When we all contribute regularly, we create a stronger, more supportive railway community. This sense of community promotes a culture of care and support for our colleagues facing difficult times and a culture of giving that makes a positive impact on society as a whole.

Can small, regular donations really make a difference?

Absolutely! Even small, consistent contributions can add up to make a significant impact for our railway family.

By donating regularly, you become part of a community dedicated to supporting the wellbeing of railway workers and making a positive impact within the industry. Whether big or small, your consistent support matters.

I’m finding it really helpful. I sometimes go a long time without anyone to talk to and it’s very hard. I’m 94 and meeting new people is difficult, so check in and chat in my own home with a lovely lady to talk to is fantastic. I still manage to get to town to run my errands, although at my age I don’t run! But the casual conversations I have with shop keepers are nothing like the calls, which are much more personal and involved.

Words cannot describe how grateful I am for the help and support this charity has given us, before this I felt so hopeless and worried about the future, it has been a really tough, stressful year but I now have some sense of positivity that things will get easier and that wouldn’t have happened without RBF’s support.

When I approached the RBF, I felt hopeless and that I had no chance of ever paying off all my debts. I sent in my application asking for support with my council tax and energy bills, and the charity provided me with a grant to finally pay off these debts. Since receiving this support, I feel so happy and relieved.
