For many years, Worldline has been a consistent supporter of The Railway Ball, recognising its role in bringing the rail industry together behind a shared social purpose.

That commitment is continuing under Magellan following the launch of the new business this summer.

While the organisation has evolved, the principles behind its involvement remain the same. Long‑term support for The Railway Ball reflects a belief that complex industries work best when organisations collaborate, share responsibility and focus on outcomes that extend beyond individual interests.

For Magellan, this matters. The business operates in areas where technology underpins essential public services, often out of sight but critical to daily life. There is a clear emphasis on using technology responsibly, respecting complexity rather than oversimplifying it, and ensuring it delivers genuine public benefit.

Central to the Ball’s impact is the work of Railway Children. Through practical, front‑line work, the charity supports vulnerable children and young people who are alone, at risk or exploited, in the UK and internationally. The impact is tangible and long‑lasting.

Supporting The Railway Ball helps make that work possible and shows how the rail industry can come together to address difficult social issues that do not have easy answers.

For Magellan corporate social responsibility is about making thoughtful, long‑term choices. It means backing initiatives that deliver real impact, working in partnership, and contributing positively to the wider sector.

“Continuing our support for The Railway Ball is about staying true to our values,” said James Bain, COO Magellan. “It reflects our belief in collaboration, responsibility and using our experience in a way that supports people and the public good.”

Carrying forward Worldline’s long‑standing involvement, Magellan is proud to remain a supporter of The Railway Ball and the vital work of Railway Children.
