Railway Benefit Fund (RBF) has announced that Amaro and Ontrak have joined as Corporate Partners, strengthening its work to support railway workers and their families in times of need.
Both companies share a genuine connection to the railway community and approached the partnership with enthusiasm and purpose. Their support will help the charity to reach more people and provide practical, meaningful help that makes a real difference when it matters most.
Corporate partnerships are central to how Railway Benefit Fund grows its impact. UK rail organisations bring far more than financial support; they contribute skills, networks, and the voices of their people, helping to raise awareness of the challenges facing the Railway Family and sustain services that workers and families depend on. For the companies involved, partnership with RBF offers a genuine opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to the sector and the people within it, while providing employees with meaningful ways to give something back.
“We are pleased to welcome both Amaro and Ontrak,” said Jo Kaye, CEO of RBF. “It is always encouraging when businesses in our sector want to get behind what we do. The railway community looks after its own, and having companies like these alongside us means we can do even more of that.”
Amaro is a Network Rail Principal Contractor supporting some of the biggest names in rail, providing signalling, power and telecoms services to some of the UK’s highest-profile infrastructure projects. The partnership grew out of a shared belief that the people who keep the railways running deserve support when life gets hard.
Sean Tiday, business relationship manager at Amaro, said: “We’ve invested in the RBF to give them the opportunity to support more people in the UK railway family. They do a fantastic job with limited resources, helping people when they are in absolute dire need.”
Ontrak is an innovative recruitment company operating across all industries in the UK, including the railway sector, where it works closely with railway people to match them with new roles. For them, backing RBF is a straightforward extension of what they already care about: the wellbeing of the people who make the railway work.
“We are really pleased to be joining as a Corporate Partner,” said Ashley Spence, company director at Ontrak.
“At Ontrak, we have spent nearly two decades working within the UK rail industry, and we know better than most how much the Railway Family means to the people in it. What RBF does, being there for railway people when life gets tough, through the moments that really matter, is something we wholeheartedly believe in. We are proud to support that work and look forward to playing our part in making sure no one has to face those challenging times alone.”
