Soho Depot take on Snowdon
Hello everyone,
We at Soho Depot are gearing up Hunslet, our mascot to conquer Snowdon, not just for the thrill, but to support two incredible causes. the Birmingham Children's Hospital and the Railway Benefit Fund. These organisations are the beacons of hope, providing vital care and support to children and the unsung heroes of our railway community. With your generous contributions, we can ensure that every child gets a fighting chance at a brighter future and that every railway worker has a safety net in times of need.
Every step we take across Snowdon is a step toward making a real difference in the lives of those who need it most. Together, let's turn every stride into a lifeline.
Join us in supporting the Birmingham Children's Hospital and the Railway Benefit Fund, and let's prove the incredible power of unity and purpose. Together, we can help Hunslet conquer Snowdon and reach the hearts of those who depend on these vital charities.
Snowdon Gales
Facing the elements atop Snowdon, Hunslet and the Team showcased remarkable resilience and solidarity in their mission to create change. Despite the howling winds and heavy rain, their resolve remained steadfast, shining even more brilliantly. Together, they persevered until they reached 2/3rds of the way, recognizing the danger posed by the relentless 60mph gales.
Their efforts were not in vain. Through sheer perseverance and the support of an incredible community, they’ve raised a remarkable £1138.40 (+£186.23 Gift Aid) for the Railway Benefit Fund and Birmingham Children’s Hospital. This achievement is a testament to the power of collective action and the boundless compassion.
To every donor, supporter, and well-wisher, your generosity knows no bounds. Your contributions have not only fuelled their climb but also fuelled hope for those in need. Together, we’ve proven that even amidst adversity during trying times, kindness prevails.
Thank you,
Hunslet, Soho Depot

Storm Ciaran
Good Afternoon Hunslet fans.
Due to a red-level weather warning caused by storm Ciaran, expected to affect the Yr Wyddfa [Snowdon] area tomorrow, it is with a heavy heart that Hunslet and the team have decided to postpone their hike tomorrow.
The team are quickly looking at a new date for their hike which will be announced soon.
Stay safe everyone.

Hunslet’s Anticipation: Preparing for the Snowdon Summit as Snow Begins to Fall
The news of snow falling at Snowdon’s summit has sparked a new wave of anticipation within the team! At the heart of Soho Depot, the West Midlands Trains team are charged with excitement as the team organises their equipment and finalise their preparations over great brew and some of Hunslet’s favourite snacks, the Jaffa cake (or is it a biscuit?) of climbing Snowdon’s formidable Miner’s Track.
Stay tuned for more updates as Hunslet and the team of West Midlands Trains at Soho Depot prepare to scale the heights of Snowdon, as they continue to raise money towards The Birmingham Children’s Hospital and The Railway Benefit Fund. Together, we make a difference, one step at a time.

I sponsored you before but I think I may have only sponsored one paw, so here is some support for the other 3 paws. I'm assuming there will be lots of Jaffa cakes involved to give you the energy to make it up, and down again, safely.
