Following on from our flash mob success – which saw 3 million people watch our viral video of rail employees singing Lean on Me – we’ve recorded the tune as a single!

The rail community has come together once again, joining forces to be part of our choir, Voices for Railway Children.

We’ve recorded and now released the track with profits from downloads going towards our work as well as raising awareness.
