  • Ready for fundraising into 2023! Can you help?

    We all lead busy lives, not least myself running my rail-tour business and raising 3 rumbustious teenage boys. When LOCO Journeys was founded, we wanted to ensure that part of the business also gave back to our community and allowed those not so privileged to enjoy a 'moment'. We wanted to offer an opportunity for deserving children to capture a happy memory which enables them to be inspired about life, just as you and I are when we head away on our rail holiday.

    With this in mind, we created The Railway Children, a fundraising initiative which last year enabled two under-privileged Christchurch-based children and their guardians the chance to enjoy a terrific day out on the TranzAlpine Train. The feedback was genuinely heart warming, and we are now seeking to raise money to give more children this same opportunity.

    We've been graciously allowed to share a couple of photos of one of our youngsters enjoying their day which I have included below.

    If you think you are able to spare a small donation to our cause to send another couple of children on a trip in 2023, the LOCO team - and of course the recipients - will be incredibly grateful.

    Thank you for your support.
