The Million Hour Challenge is a rail industry initiative in support of Samaritans. Funded through Network Rail on behalf of the rail industry; the challenge aims to support Samaritans in the work they do in supporting those in emotional crisis. Over the next five years we will encourage people from across the rail industry to support the work of Samaritans by volunteering their skills, knowledge, energy and time. The challenge also aims to reduce the stigma associated with mental health amongst our employees and promote a culture of wellbeing amongst employers associated with the industry.
