The Big Rail Diversity Challenge
The Big Rail Diversity Challenge brings together rail professionals to look at how we can tackle diversity collaboratively and collectively in an informal setting with many industry-leading companies in attendance. The event also offers the perfect platform for the industry to share best practice, network, team build and help shape what the profession should do next to support a more inclusive sector.
A huge thank you to our supporting organisations for your continued support of the event.
Campaign for Better Transport is the national charity working across England and Wales to make transport better, greener and fairer. We have been campaigning since 1973 to improve transport, tackle climate change and create a more inclusive society. Our vision is for all communities to have access to high quality, sustainable transport that meets their needs, improves quality of life and helps protect the environment.

Railway Children fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation. In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries, the problem is so prevalent that it has become normal.
The Railway Industry Association (RIA) champions a dynamic UK rail supply sector. Rail contributes £41 billion in economic value and £14 billion in tax revenue each year, as well as supporting over 640,000 jobs throughout the UK. For every job in rail, a further four jobs are supported elsewhere in the UK economy, and every job in the rail supply chain is 29% more productive than the UK average. RIA's 450+ members, including 60% SMEs, provide a diverse range of rail products and services. RIA advocates for rail's critical role in economic development, sustainability, and high-performance transport. Learn more at www.riagb.org.uk
