The Railway Ball is back this November

The Railway Ball is back for another year, uniting the rail community for one incredible cause – Railway Children. The Ball, which returns to the InterContinental London – The O2 on November 29, brings together industry professionals to entertain, connect and create positive change – with proceeds directly benefitting children in the UK, India and Tanzania.

The charity believes in a world where no child ever has to live on the streets. Through providing essential services such as shelter, education, healthcare and family reintegration, Railway Children helps children who are vulnerable and at risk on streets and across transport networks to rewrite their future.

The Ball, which has become one of the biggest and most-loved events in the UK rail calendar, is the charity’s main fundraiser – having raised over £8.5m since 2000 and supporting more than 320,000 children.

Make sure you snap up one of the last few tables today.
