The Railway Mission is pleased to announce the appointment of Mameri Ese as a new Trustee, bringing with her a wealth of experience in project management, financial stewardship, and workplace well-being. Mameri\u2019s background in the rail industry, coupled with her passion for mentoring and personal development, makes her an invaluable addition to the Mission\u2019s leadership team.<\/p>\n

Mameri, a senior project manager at Great Western Railway (GWR), has led complex projects and driven strategic initiatives throughout her career. She also co-chairs GWR\u2019s Future Employee Network, supporting early career professionals and helping to shape career development pathways. \u201cHaving worked closely with railway staff, I\u2019ve seen the immense pressures they face every day,\u201d she says. \u201cThe Railway Mission plays a crucial role in providing pastoral care and emotional support to people across the industry, and I\u2019m excited to help strengthen and expand that work.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UK rail industry continues to face significant challenges, from modernisation and operational changes to the mental health and well-being of its workforce. Mameri believes the Mission\u2019s chaplaincy services are more relevant than ever. \u201cRailway workers, whether on the frontline, in offices, or in leadership, deal with high-pressure environments, unpredictable incidents, and demanding schedules. The Railway Mission\u2019s work provides a safe space for people to be heard, supported, and encouraged through these challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of her new role, Mameri is committed to helping the Mission grow its reach and impact. \u201cI want to see the Mission expand its presence across the industry, not only through face-to-face support but also by embracing digital tools that make pastoral care more accessible,\u201d she explains. \u201cMy aim is to strengthen the Mission\u2019s partnerships with rail industry leaders, ensuring that well-being support is embedded in the workplace culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mameri also brings financial expertise that will help ensure the charity\u2019s long-term sustainability. \u201cGood stewardship and strategic growth are key,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m focused on helping the Mission secure resources and build visibility so it can continue supporting railway staff for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liam Johnston, Executive Director of the Railway Mission, welcomed Mameri\u2019s appointment, saying:
“Mameri brings a wonderful blend of industry knowledge, strategic vision, and heartfelt compassion that aligns perfectly with the Mission\u2019s purpose. Her professional insight and her commitment to people will undoubtedly help us extend the reach of our chaplaincy services and support railway staff through both everyday challenges and life\u2019s most difficult moments.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Alex Volossevich, Chair of Trustees, also expressed his enthusiasm:
“We are delighted to welcome Mameri to the Board of Trustees. Her leadership experience, financial acumen, and passion for mentoring will add immense value to the Mission. We look forward to her contributions as we continue to grow, adapt, and serve the rail community with care and integrity.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Mameri hopes her involvement will contribute to fostering a stronger sense of care and community within the rail industry. \u201cThe Railway Mission isn\u2019t just about offering support in times of crisis, it\u2019s about building a culture where people feel valued and connected. I\u2019m proud to be part of that work.\u201d<\/p>\n
