Join Young Rail Professionals
(YRP) Scotland on their Rail Trek to the Forth Bridge, tackling Sections 5 and
6 of the John Muir Way (approx. 22.5 miles/36.2km) to raise money for Railway
Children.
Heading off at 08:00 (07:40 meet) on Saturday 10th October 2020 from Falkirk High Train Station the (socially
distanced) group will be taking on the John Muir Way to reach the end point of
the famous Forth Rail Bridge!
Whether you are a young rail
professional or a seasoned veteran of the industry, come along, raise some
money, take in the scenery, meet the people and trek across part of the Central
Belt with the team. 
What do Railway Children Do?
We fight for children living
on the streets
Railway
Children 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.
