<p>Industry charity, Railway Children has been hard hit by Covid-19, 
with the cancellation of key annual fundraisers. In response, the 
industry has come together under the banner of Rail Aid to try and 
address some of this shortfall and keep the charity in the public eye.</p>
<p>Rail Aid, of which Mary Grant is an ambassador, is a programme of 
fundraising that culminated in a week of charitable events at the end of
 November. Porterbrook donated 25 locomotive nameplates to the Rail Aid 
auction and secured £51,000 for the charity. Internal fundraising 
activities allowed Team Porterbrook to raise over £5,000 to add to the 
Rail Aid total.</p>
