Transport & Friends for Life Association (TFFLA) was founded by London Underground employees Gus, Eddie & Sherelle in April 2012, to provide affordable social events and fundraising opportunities to their members (TFL employees and their friends). This group of friends believed that as a company, TFL need an organisation which will provide an outlet for staff to unite; whilst building morale. The demands of providing London with a transport service are felt mostly on the customer facing side of the business and this is all too easily forgotten. By hosting events, fundraising and supporting members across the business, TFFLA hope to promote our members personal efforts and achievements, plus, create a gateway for transport staff to reconnect with people of similar working experiences. Aims and Objectives • To be the key social club for TFL providing unification of all staff across all grades. •
To offer members affordable social events and fundraising opportunities to build morale across the transport network.
