Welcome to Railway Mission


We are a dedicated charity providing mental health support for everyone in the railway family. Our network of Railway Mission chaplains across England, Scotland and Wales offers a shoulder to lean on and someone to chat to about issues big or small. We’ve helped people through hard times, including loneliness, stress, workplace change, depression, relationship breakdowns, financial worries, bereavement and illness. We’re confidential, independent and impartial and here for all railway staff regardless of faith, beliefs, gender, race or role.
