In 2022, our staff-selected, group-wide charity is the Alzheimer’s Society.
We have also worked for many years supporting the Barrie Well’s Trust (Box4Kids), who have brought thousands of children for race day experiences. We are about to embark on a new collaborative relationship with the Rio Ferdinand Foundation and of course, we also promote and assist our own industry charitable body, Racing Welfare.
