Our Impact

See the difference we make

For over 165 years, we have offered a helping hand to the people behind the UK’s railways and their families when life throws up the most difficult challenges – such as illness, injury or financial hardship. Every four minutes, someone reaches out for our help or advice. In return, we’re there for them.

The report highlights the breadth of support RBF provides, from preventing homelessness to reducing isolation, helping railway people stabilise their lives and move forward with confidence. Support delivered included financial grants, confidential advice, digital tools, and befriending services to railway workers and retirees across the UK.
