About Us

The Train Foundation (formerly the Northcote Parkinson Fund)

The Train Foundation was established by The Hon. John Train in 1987. The Foundation's Board of Trustees is listed below.

Since 2000, the Foundation has sponsored the international Civil Courage Prize, which honors extraordinary individuals whose acts, undertaken deliberately, over time, have demonstrated "steadfast resistance to evil at great personal risk." The Train Foundation will continue this initiative in cooperation with like-minded organizations world-wide.
