Nominations for Award for Charity

Liam Nixon

Said the following about Hatch End Station:

“This is more of a station team charity award, the team at Hatch End station is made up of 3 members of staff.

Andy, Liam, and Neha. The team has worked closely for a few years raising funds for a number of charities such as the British Heart Foundation, St Lucks Hospice, and the Railway Benefit funds.

The team has a book swap set up at the station, but the team also uses this to raise money for the local charities. Most recently the team set a target of £400 pounds to help raise funds for the railway benefit fund. The team took part in a sponsored walk from London Euston to Watford Junction calling at each station. At the time of entering this, the team had passed the £400 mark and was closer to £1,000.

The team work closely with the local community by holding community days at the station doing tea/coffee and cake and also raise money for charities at the same time

The team runs a poppy appeal campaign for the London Overground staff, selling poppy-themed badges to staff across the network, and over the 4 years the team have been doing this and we have raised over £5,000 for the charity.“
