Railway Mission and Railway Benefit Fund (RBF), supported by the Retired Rail Officers Society (RROS), are excited to bring to our wonderful railway family the opportunity to write a will, free of charge throughout the month of March.
After the last few years in particular we can appreciate the importance of having an up-todate will to protect our loved ones when we are not around, to ensure our affairs are dealt with in the way we choose. We have teamed up with will writing service, Bequeathed, who will support and guide you throughout the process. You have the option to write your will online or over the phone, both services will provide a consultation with a solicitor to finalise your will and these appointments can be selected at your convenience. Anybody in the rail industry, along with their friends and family, can take part to make their will. If you would like to support your railway charities, you can leave a gift in your will or make a donation on completion of your will. However, there is no obligation to do either.

It is also an opportunity to direct some funds to those charities that reflect our life interests. “The Retired Railway Officer’s Society members were unanimous in the vote to support the Railway Mission and Railway Benefit Fund in reaching the whole industry with the Free Wills Month. “The RROS chose to work with the Railway Mission and RBF as these charities focus on the wellbeing of those who work on our railway now, and we could not think of a more appropriate cause!” Make a Free Will Month starts on March 1 2022, and you can visit our website now for a reminder and also find out more information about the service.
