Swanage Railway: SOS Fundraising Update

In our third and final SOS video for the year, we take a look back at how your generous donations have helped us during the pandemic as we get tantalisingly close to our £360,000 target with less than £24,000 to go!
We’ll show you how the railway reopened and what COVID-19 measures were implemented like social distancing and cleaning regimes in order to receive our ‘Good to Go’ accreditation and keep everyone safe.
We also look ahead to the future as Josh describes the effects of Coronavirus, the scale of the shortfall, what we’ve done to make ourselves more sustainable and why it’s vital we raise as much as we can before the end of the year to help put us on the road to recovery…
You can donate by visiting www.saveourservice.co.uk for PayPal and 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 donate by texting '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 staff and volunteers, thank you so very much for your support and the generous donations which currently amounts to £336,245 (as of 9th December)!

A very well produced and edited production once again. We really hope you'll meet your survival targets. Festive Christmas train looks amazing! Incredible fund raising achievement so far, which speaks volumes for how much this railway is loved by the public.
