At Northern, we’re proud to partner with the MND (MND) Association to raise vital funds and awareness for a cause that affects thousands of people across the UK.
We’ve committed to raising £70,000 by the end of 2026 - and we’re inviting our customers, colleagues and communities to help us get there.
Why we partner with MND Association
We have partnered with MND Association since 2025. This partnership was formed after we received requests from our staff to recognise the incredible work of MND campaigner and Super League hero Rob Burrows MBE.
Motor neurone disease (MND) is a rapidly progressing, life-limiting condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. It impacts how people move, speak, eat and breathe.
The MND Association provides invaluable support to people with MND and their families, as well as funding research into the disease.
How do we support MND?
We're committed to hitting our target of £70,000.
From June - December 2025, we have raised just under £24,000 through internal fundraising activity, a very generous donation of £15,000 from Eversholt Rail and the sales of Rail200 cushion covers.
More highlights from 2025:
- Launching our MNDA train - names after Rob Burrows CBE
- Seven weeks of summer fundraising programme including a 70-mile walking challenge
- Auction of Super League Grand Final tickets
- Collections at our stations
