RBF’s President Pete Waterman OBE Joins BCIMO’s Family Day Line Up

To celebrate 200 years of the modern railway, as part of theRailway200 national celebration, BCIMO are holding a Family Day for charity on 17th May. They are delighted to announce that, in addition to their four initial charities, they will also be raising money for Railway Benefit Fund and its President, Pete Waterman OBE, will be opening the event

BCIMO is hoping to raise a minimum of£10,000 to help them deliver their missions, but the more Family Day can raise, the more help the charities can deliver.

Olivia Brown, Operations & Marketing Manager at BCIMO, said: “We’re really excited to add Railway Benefit Fund to the very special charities we’ve already chosen for Family Day, and also looking forward to welcoming Pete to visit the VLRNIC and open the event. Our mission to raise money for these charities is very important to us, and we really hope that businesses will support us through sponsorship or donation ,and the local and rail communities will come along and help us reach–if not exceed!–our fundraising goal.”
