Born an orphan, founder Jim Stevenson knew hardship first-hand. He began his rail career in East Coast Mainline catering and became a strong supporter of the NUR (now RMT) London Widows & Orphan Fund (LWOF), later serving as secretary and chair. As an RMT regional organiser, he remained a committed advocate for LWOF’s mission. Today, the RMT London and Widows Orphan Fund has grown from a London-based initiative into a national fund, offering widows and orphans across the UK additional financial support to improve their quality of life. After Jim’s Stevenson’s sad passing in 2019, the Fund’s future was uncertain, but the determination of dedicated individuals has ensured its survival.
