History of Racing Welfare.

Racing Welfare is a registered charity supporting the workforce of British Horseracing.

Racing Welfare is the only charity that supports all people who work in racing - stud, stable and support staff; from their recruitment right through to retirement.

Our Welfare Officers provide a wide ranging advice and guidance service which is confidential and non-judgemental.

Racing Welfare’s services are nationally accessible with offices in the main racing centres and roving Welfare Officers covering the whole of the country.

Our work is vital to the wellbeing of racing’s workforce – without whom there would be no horseracing. We support more than 1,000 staff each year and the number is rising steadily.

Every year we must raise £1,000,000 in fundraising income to help maintain and develop the services that the charity offers. Bidding on items in this auction will help us reach this target.
