Help with family costs from Railway Benefit Fund

Jul 17, 2026

The school holidays are just around the corner, and for many families, that can mean extra pressure on the budget – but support may be available.

Railway Benefit Fund (RBF) is a charity that supports railway workers and their families.

Through its Children’s Fund, RBF can help eligible railway employees with some of the costs that come with raising a family. This includes support for everyday essentials, such as food and clothing for children.

If you think you might be eligible, you can find out more about the support available and how to apply on RBF’s website: railwaybenefitfund.org.uk/financial-help/childrens-fund/
