RBF’s 2026 Online Christmas Shop Now Open

Railway Benefit Fund (RBF) has opened its 2026 online Christmas shop, with proceeds from card and gift sales going towards supporting railway workers and their families through hardship.

The charity, which helps railway people and their families through difficult times, has put together a hand-picked range of Christmas cards and gifts for the festive season. This year’s collection includes exclusive card designs and a specially produced 2027 rail calendar featuring striking railway photography. The calendar has been sponsored by TES 2000.

RBF chief executive Jo Kaye said the festive period can be especially hard for some in the industry.

“Christmas is a time of joy for many, but for railway families struggling to make ends meet, it can be one of the hardest times of the year,” she said. “Every card and calendar bought from our shop helps us be there for colleagues when they need us most. Together, we can make this Christmas a little brighter for our Railway Family.”

RBF provides financial grants and practical advice to railway people in need, supporting individuals and families across the UK.

Shoppers can also add a donation of any amount when placing an order. Anyone interested in making a corporate or individual donation can contact Suzy Powell at [email protected].
