In Depth:  Railway Mission / London City Mission

The UK’s rail chaplaincy service, providing pastoral support to rail staff and British Transport Police officers, has from early April been provided solely by the Railway Mission.

Its partner organisation, London City Mission, has moved resources from workplace settings in order to focus on the least reached in the capital – those in poverty and on the margins. The two Christian charities, both established in the 19th century, have worked closely together for many years to provide a confidential listening ear and meaningful advice to people at all levels of the industry. The Railway Mission plans to take on an additional two chaplains by the summer.
