Social responsibility

We care about the environment. We fund Virgin Unite, which is an entrepreneurial foundation that works with great partners all over the world to develop new approaches to tough social and environmental issues.

Following Richard Branson’s call to action in 2007, Virgin Trains raised in excess of £190k for Virgin Unite’s Heaven’s Angels project. Heaven’s Angels provide motor bikes to health workers and get healthcare supplies moving in rural parts of Africa.

We try and do our part: for every egg and cress sandwich we sell onboard, a donation of 5p goes to Virgin Unite.

Virgin Train’s Corporate Responsibility Strategy is important to us. We use efficient processes and recycle wherever possible. And of course, for our passengers, travelling by train produces less CO2 than going by car or plane.
