25% discount on region’s trains for charity employees, reminds Northern to mark UK Charity Week

The saving, which is delivered in partnership with Network - a company that specialises in employee discounts and benefits, is available via the Charity Worker Discounts website.

The train operator issued the reminder to mark the start of UK Charity Week (2-6 December), an annual campaign designed to raise awareness of the contribution that charities make to UK public life.

Stuart Taylor, head of commercial development at Northern, said: “We’re very proud that, through our partnership with Network, we’re able to offer this 25% discount to employees of registered charities.”

Northern announced the 25% discount in March 2023 as part of a scheme that gives the same discount to registered carers, NHS workers and teachers.

Taylor added: “As it has been a while since we launched the scheme, we wanted to remind charity workers that the discount is available – and UK Charity Week seemed the perfect opportunity. As with any discount, it’s only useful if you know about it!”

Northern is the second largest train operator in the UK, with 2,500 services a day to more than 500 stations across the North of England.
