Every year thousands of children across the UK, India and East Africa run away or are forced to leave homes that have become unbearable through poverty, abuse, violence and neglect. The streets are often even more dangerous and frightening than the homes these children were desperate to escape.
Payroll Giving donations now more important than ever
Q. What is the easiest way to support the charities you care about without paying tax?
A. Payroll Giving - simple tax free donations to your favourite good causes
Donating money direct from your pay - Payroll Giving - is an easy, tax-free way to help your favourite charity or good cause.
Payroll Giving makes great sense. It's a simple and painless way to give to your favourite cause...it provides the regular income so important to charities....and of course it's tax efficient...every £5 you commit to your favourite cause will cost you just £4.
But remember, the scheme is completely voluntary and confidential to you and of course the choice of charity is entirely yours

Our Vision
A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.
Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.
In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.
They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.
Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.
