Railway Benefit Fund (RBF) has opened its 2026 online Christmas shop, with proceeds from card and gift sales going towards supporting railway workers and their families through hardship.
This year's collection includes:
• Gift wrap, bags and accessories
Every purchase helps RBF provide a lifeline to railway people in need, offering financial grants and practical advice to individuals and families across the UK.
The Christmas Shop currently delivers to addresses in the United Kingdom only. Postage costs vary and are based on the value of your order – please check the website for more details.

RBF has also recently launched the Railway Lottery, where every week supporters have the chance to win a £25,000 jackpot.
Every £1 you play each week gives you a unique 6-digit lottery number. Then every Friday, the winning number sequence will be announced, with a 1 in 63 chance of winning one of four prizes.
