Jo Kaye, Chief Executive Officer at RBF, said: \u201cThe best part is that every raffle ticket you purchase will go towards supporting the Railway Benefit Fund, a UK charity dedicated to supporting current, former and retired railway workers and their families.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur thanks to Hornby, UK Departure Boards and Pete Waterman for kindly donating these prizes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event is part of Railway Family Week, which started on Monday, celebrating the rail industry and the amazing people in it. This year the challenge is to raise \u00a350,000. People can also get involved by volunteering and receiving a free volunteer toolkit, or support the teams in its Station to Station Challenge, or simply donate to make a difference.<\/p>\n

Demand for RBF\u2019s services has nearly tripled in the past five years. In 2023 the charity helped more than 1,000 railway people with direct financial support. Over 65 per cent of those we helped are current workers and the majority under the age of 50.<\/p>\n
