Thankaton 2024: It’s all thanks to you

Every year, we celebrate our amazing supporters for all they do to change children’s lives.

Date: 11th June 2024

Our annual Thankathon

The thankathon has become a much-loved, annual event in the Railway Children calendar: a chance to celebrate the charity’s amazing supporters and thank them for continuing to be a vital part of the Railway Children family.

Whether they were on the phones, writing postcards or sending emails, Railway Children staff got stuck in to show how much their supporters are valued.

Rob Capener, Railway Children Group CEO said:

‘The thankathon is a brilliant opportunity to thank all our supporters, whether they are donors, volunteers, train companies, BTP champions, SAG members or event participants. The work of Railway Children is only possible because of them, and thousands of children are living safer, happier lives as a result.’

Thank you for changing lives

Whether through donating or giving their time, energy and enthusiasm, thousands more children are now safely home with their families, back in school or empowered with the skills they need for a brighter future away from the streets, thanks to our amazing supporters.

So from everyone who works at Railway Children and from all the children whose lives you’ve changed… THANK YOU!
