Lifeline- The ABTA Charitable Trust

LifeLine is ABTA’s charitable trust. Previously called the ABTA Benevolent Fund, it was set up to help people in the travel industry who need it most.
We award grants and loans to help with everything from serious medical problems to sudden financial hardship. So far, we’ve supported more than 500 families, awarding over £500,000.
Our vision is that everyone in the ABTA family has somewhere to turn in times of personal crisis. We want to make sure you know what sort of help is there for you and how you can access it – just as you do everything you can to support your customers.

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.
