==Current organisation==
The Club enables youngsters aged 11 to 13 inclusive who are interested in railways to apply to join in various activities. It is organised in two groups, those aged 11 to 12 and those aged 13. It is limited to 8 in the younger group and 6 in the older to work safely and allow the Volunteer Liaison Office to place the 14 year olds in the limited places available for senior apprentices, although this can lead to a long waiting list.<ref>[http://svr-vlo.org.uk/junior-club.html SVR VLO website]</ref> The Junior Club has been the initial stepping-stone for many of the younger current SVR volunteers, enough in total to run the railway as was demonstrated during 'Don's Day' in August 2015. It uses [[GWR 5804 Brake Third]] in [[Bewdley Down Yard]] as a mess coach. The Club supervisors are SVR members have some railway knowledge who work with the youngsters on a regular basis and in all weather conditions, and hold an enhanced DBS.
 
Another "Don's Day" is planned for 2020, the 30th Anniversary of the Junior Club.<ref>Richard Heap on Facebook, 15 July 2019</ref>
As the SVR Junior Club it has a small shareholding in [[Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC]].
