Sam is travelling the railways for charity

Sam Smith is a fourteen year old, diagnosed with autism and anxiety.

He is a keen railway enthusiast and photographer, and says that over the past two years he’s been supported by many organisations and people. Two groups stand out – mental health support and the amazing people in the ‘railway family’. Sam says, “I would like to show my appreciation by raising money for two charities - Teens in Crisis+ (TIC+) and the Railway Mission with 100% of funds the raised being split equally between the two charities.” He adds, “My challenge is to travel all the railway lines in Britain. I need something to aim for, so thought this would be a great thing to do whilst trying to raise vital funds. Any donations to these great charities would be very much appreciated.” Railway Mission has been in contact with his mother who is supporting him in this effort.
