OPEN LETTER FROM BALL PATRONS
To the UK and international rail community,
We are writing to invite you to support The Railway Ball, the premier fundraising event for Railway Children. Your participation is key in helping safeguard vulnerable children worldwide.
Since its inception, Railway Children has transformed the lives of over 250,000 children facing abuse, poverty, and starvation, including over 14,000 in the past twelve months alone. The charity’s reach spans the UK, Africa, and India, providing hope and brighter futures for those in desperate situations.
The Railway Ball is more than a fundraiser; it is a celebration of our collective commitment to the rail industry and corporate social responsibility. This year, the event will take place on Friday, 29th November 2024, at the InterContinental London – The O2. The event welcomes businesses of all sizes and professionals from every sector of the rail industry. Single tickets, as well as tables, are available, making it accessible for everyone to participate.
By attending The Railway Ball, you will have the opportunity to:
- Demonstrate your business’ commitment to supporting vulnerable children.
- Increase brand awareness and showcase your corporate values.
- Network with a “who’s who” of industry leaders from Network Rail, TfL, HS2, Train Operating Companies, and the wider industry supply chain and advisors.
We extend our gratitude to those that have already booked their tables and tickets. Your support is making a significant difference. We encourage others to join the 1,000 guests who have already confirmed their attendance. Whether you sponsor, take a table or purchase a single ticket, your contribution will have a meaningful impact.
We also encourage you to follow The Railway Ball and share with your colleagues on LinkedIn.
The Railway Ball is not just a night of celebration; it’s an evening of profound change. We urge you to accept this invitation and join us in making a lasting difference in the lives of children who need it most.
