Train Operating Company Hull Trains and its employees have recently raised over £1750 for Hull Children’s University (HCU).

The TOC has arranged and engaged in activities in support of the charity throughout 2017. This included a summer race night which raised £1250.

Most recently though, £520 was raised through Hull Trains‘ pledge to donate £5 to the HCU for every completed internal employee satisfaction survey that they received.

Over the past 12 months, Hull Trains and HCU have transported more than 1100 children to the capital. Some others have spent the day visiting historical sights and landmarks, whilst others have been visiting attractions such as the National History Museum.

What did the officials say?

Debbie Birch, Head of HR at Hull Trains says: “We selected HCU as our charity partner because of the huge value they bring to the lives of local children and the experiences they give them. We have always been involved in helping to take local children to London on the HCU trips, so it made good sense for us to commit to raising funds and giving them further support this year.”

Rose James, Partnership Manager at HCU says: “We are so grateful to Hull Trains for their ongoing support for our charity. The staff always go above and beyond to help, whether it be the booking of our London visits, on board the trains or organising events to raise money for us as their chosen charity. The money raised over the year will send a whole class of children from disadvantaged areas of the city on an experience of a lifetime in London!”
