Hidden Strength of the UK Rail Sector
Railway Mission – Caring for the Railway Family
For more than 140 years, the Railway Mission has stood beside the people who keep Britain’s railways moving. Founded in 1881, we exist to offer care, compassion, and hope to railway staff and their families during life’s most difficult moments.
Working on the railway is more than just a job – it’s a calling. It demands dedication, resilience, and teamwork in every weather, at every hour. But even the strongest among us can face times of stress, grief, or uncertainty. That is when the Railway Mission is there to help.
Our dedicated team of Railway Chaplains travel the length and breadth of the network, visiting stations, depots, and offices every day. They listen, support, and encourage staff through personal and professional challenges, always with understanding and complete confidentiality.
Whether it is after a traumatic incident, a family crisis, or simply when someone needs to talk, our chaplains provide a steady hand and a caring heart.
The Railway Mission works closely with rail companies, Union Reps, and the British Transport Police to ensure that no member of the railway family faces hardship or trauma alone. We are proud to be part of the industry’s shared commitment to wellbeing and human connection.
Your support makes all the difference. By standing with the Railway Mission through donations or by raising awareness, you help ensure that this vital pastoral care continues to reach every part of the network.
