Every year, we celebrate our amazing supporters for all they do to change children’s lives.
Date: 11th June 2024
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:
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!

Hundreds of Railway Children supporters raised £46,256 across two of the charity’s flagship autumn events – walking London’s Piccadilly Line overland and taking on a climb, cycle and kayak route through the Lake District.
The three-day route took cyclists from Ebbsfleet International to Dover, Dover to Brighton and Brighton to London Waterloo, raising vital funds to support vulnerable children.
Railway Children will feature in a special BBC Radio 4 Charity Appeal this September, shining a light on the challenges faced by street children in Tanzania and the life-changing support available through our work.
Discover how charitable giving can reduce inheritance tax, support the causes you care about and potentially leave more for your family and favourite charities.
Kinship care enables children to stay with relatives or trusted family friends when they cannot live with their parents. Find out why it matters and how Railway Children supports family-based care across the UK, India and Tanzania.
We’re proud to highlight how our initiatives are empowering young girls in vulnerable communities.
