Racing Welfare is the leading charity for all those who are working,
or have worked, in the horse racing industry. This includes stud
and stable staff, trainers, jockeys, racecourse employees, heath
men, farriers and stalls handlers.
We have some two hundred and fifty permanent beneficiaries and assist
financially another two hundred and fifty or so each year on a temporary
basis. We also offer assistance and advice and on going support
for seriously handicapped people and own over one hundred homes
for working and retired staff, including some with nursing care
on site.
Racing Welfare’s mission is to take care of those in need
across the racing and breeding industry by providing them not just
with affordable housing and welfare, but also counselling and support
for young people entering racing and possibly away from home for
the first time, holiday schemes for the disabled and sport and leisure
activities.
Money raised by us through events, provide essential funds to support
some of the new projects in progress to provide support for all
of racing’s workforce from the beginning of their careers
through to retirement.
