At Railway Children, we excel at inspiring and supporting employee-led fundraising, helping businesses create impactful and engaging programs.
Employee fundraising not only extends our reach but also energises your staff, deepening their connection to our partnership and fostering a culture of giving.
Here are some ideas for employee fundraising:
- Charity runs and walks: Organise sponsored runs or walks where employees can participate and raise funds through sponsorships.
- Bake sales and BBQ’s: Host bake sales or BBQ’s, with proceeds going to Railway Children.
- Dress down days: Allow employees to dress casually in exchange for a small donation.
- Raffles and auctions: Hold raffles or auctions with donated items or experiences. Auctioning the best parking spot for a year or raffling an extra day of leave are two zero-cost options to consider!
- Team Challenges: Encourage team building through challenges like a scavenger hunt or a quiz night, with entry fees supporting the cause.
By integrating these activities into your organisation, we boost awareness and engagement, ensuring employees feel involved in every initiative.
Every donation is used wisely, directed where the need is greatest to support vulnerable children on the streets and transport networks.
Your support helps us fund and expand vital, lifesaving work—ensuring we can protect more children and transform more futures.
Join us in making a lasting impact and see how your team can be a force for good.
PAYROLL GIVING
Research shows that offering payroll giving to employees brings significant business benefits.
It enhances your company’s charitable giving, improves your corporate image, demonstrates social responsibility, and shows commitment to your staff—all with minimal cost and effort.
EVENTS PARTICIPATION
Railway Children’s annual events programme offers individuals and teams the chance to take part in exciting challenges across the UK and beyond.
Flagship team events, like our unique Three Peaks Challenge by Rail—the only UK event with dedicated rail transport—provide fantastic opportunities for team building and networking with senior leaders from across the rail industry.
We can also create bespoke events tailored to your business objectives, with our expert events team managing every detail to ensure a meaningful and impactful experience.
SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Sponsoring key events boosts brand awareness, recognition, and marketing exposure while extending the reach and impact of our partnership. It also allows Railway Children to direct more funding toward supporting vulnerable children.
Commercial marketing opportunities include the prestigious Railway Ball, our unique annual Rail Trail and the new Triple Series events, offering valuable engagement within the rail industry and beyond.
safeguarding on rail
This programme focuses on identifying and supporting vulnerable children and adults who use the UK rail network.
As well as providing safeguarding awareness training for your employees we can also work with you to develop a safeguarding strategy and delivery plans that meet the Department for Transport’s safeguarding requirements.
Utilising your expertise
Railway Children is a leading expert in supporting street-connected children, delivering high impact despite being a relatively small organisation.
Pro bono and skills-based volunteering can add immense value to our efforts. By providing specialized expertise in areas where we have little or no capacity, volunteers enable us to tackle critical projects that might not otherwise be possible. Your support through consultation and specialist advice empowers us to achieve our mission more effectively and efficiently, ensuring that we can continue to make a significant difference in the lives of vulnerable children.
