Marvin OnumonuHealth Shield Friendly Society marked three years supporting the Railway Benefit Fund’s (RBF) Heart of Gold Awards.
The awards, now in their seventh year, recognise individuals and teams making a difference in the rail industry.
Health Shield sponsors the wellbeing champion award, given to someone who goes above and beyond to support the mental and physical health of colleagues.
Jacqui Carr, CEO at Health Shield, said: “We are proud of our longstanding partnership with Railway Benefit Fund which plays a vital role in supporting the wellbeing of railway workers and their families.
“With our shared railway heritage, it has been a privilege to collaborate on initiatives that positively impact the railway community.
“It’s an opportunity to shine a light on those who are making a remarkable difference.”
Health Shield also enters a team at the RBF annual golf day and hosts events for retired rail workers.
This year’s awards will be announced at a ceremony on 26th November.
Health Shield will help judge entries and present the wellbeing champion award on the night.
Carr added: “We see inspiring stories of so many people who are making a meaningful difference.
“It is the hardest decision we have to make every year as there are so many worthy winners.”
Jo Kaye, CEO at RBF, said: “We’re grateful to Health Shield for the team’s continued support for the Heart of Gold Awards.
“What makes these awards special is that they come straight from the heart of the rail community.
“It’s not a committee decision, it’s our front-line staff celebrating and uplifting their colleagues, a direct way for everyday heroes to say ‘thank you’ to those who make a real difference in our workplace.”
