2024 supporting organisations

170 (Infra Sp) Engineering Group is a specialised unit within the British Army, providing infrastructure support to all the British Forces, and Governments both in UK and Overseas. We are a hybrid organisation made up of half Regular and half Reserve personnel.

We police Britain's railways, providing a service to rail operators, their staff and passengers across the country. We also police the London Underground, Docklands Light Railway, the Midland Metro tram system, Croydon Tramlink, Tyne and Wear Metro, Glasgow Subway and Emirates AirLine.

The Rail Forum is a national industry body with strong regional connections, based at the heart of one of the largest clusters of rail companies in the world.

Railway Benefit Fund (RBF) is a non-membership charity that provides financial support to the rail community and their dependents across the UK. We've been supporting railway people for over 160 years.

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
