Swanage Railway: Save Our Service Introduction

The Swanage Railway is one of the Isle of Purbeck's crown jewels that carries over 200,000 passengers a year and is worth £15 million a year to the local economy.
In a brand new two part series coming soon, some of our 450 volunteers will be giving you an unequivocal insight into the devastating impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the railway and the crisis it now faces in its most critical fight for survival.
It's taken over 40 years to lovingly but painstakingly rebuild the Swanage Railway but its future is currently on a knife edge. It is absolutely crucial for us to raise our £360,000 target by the autumn and unlike never before we desperately need your help to do this.
We must implore you to donate to the 'Save Our Service' appeal and share our plea to spread the message. The Swanage Railway and its place in the Purbeck community needs saving now!
You can donate by visiting www.saveourservice.co.uk for PayPal or www.swanagerailwaytrust.org/giving for details about bank transfers and cheques along with Gift Aid that can further boost your donation by 25%.
You can also simply text 'SOS' to 70470 to donate £10. This costs £10 plus a standard rate message. Alternatively, you can choose to give any whole amount between £1 and £20. E.g. texting 'SOS 4' = £4 plus a std rate msg.
From all the furloughed staff and volunteers, thank you so much for your support and the generous donations which currently amounts to £162,156 (as of 28th May)!
