Protecting rail memories for the future

Railway 200 is er trots op zich te verenigen met vijf bijzondere liefdadigheidsinstellingen om de 200e verjaardag van de moderne spoorwegen en hun transformerende invloed op Groot-Brittannië en de wereld te vieren.

Working to protect rail memories for the future, the campaign will support Alzheimer’s Research UK, Railway Benefit Fund, Railway Children, Railway Mission, and Transport Benevolent Fund CIO.

Together, we aim to support these charities’ vital work, protect cherished railway memories, and create a better future.

Contribute to the Railway 200 charity partnership on JustGiving and help us raise £200,000 in 2025 for these remarkable causes. Choose one of our exciting walking challenges to start your journey today. Donations made will be split between the five charities.
