Community, Environment And Corporate Responsibility
Fundraising activity consisted of initiatives such as its ever-popular Christmas Jumpers sale, which alone raised ₤ 20,000 for Racing Welfare, along with crucial assistance of the inaugural Voice Of Racing Day, which continues to raise much-needed funds for the Sir Peter O'Sullevan Charitable Trust, Injured Jockeys Fund and Irish Injured Jockeys.
Recent recipients of our charitable assistance consist of:
Racing Welfare
Racing Welfare offers professional assistance and useful assistance to the stud, steady and assistance staff whose devotion is essential for the health and wellbeing of racing.
Injured Jockeys Fund
by trustee and previous president John Oaksey, the fund was established in the wake of the terrible accidents including Tim Brookshaw and four months later Paddy Farrell in the 1964 Grand National. Since then the fund has actually assisted over 100 jockeys and their households and has actually paid more than ₤ 18 million in charitable help. The fund has opened two rehabilitation and physical fitness centres to support injured jockeys.
Irish Injured Jockeys
Irish Injured Jockeys was established in 2014 to increase the awareness and raise important funds to support hurt jockeys in Ireland. Funds raised go straight to injured riders most in need of assistance.
Sir Peter O'Sullevan Charitable Trust
Now in its 21st year, The Sir Peter O'Sullevan Charitable Trust has dispersed over ₤ 4.5 million similarly between the six charities it supports - Blue Cross, Brooke, Compassion in World Farming, World Horse Welfare, Racing Welfare and The British Thoroughbred Re-Training Centre.
