Press Release 26th August 2025 Aintree

The Jockey Club is pleased to announce Nugent as the Official Charity Partner of Halloween Family Day at Aintree Racecourse on Sunday 26th October.

This unmissable event promises a thrilling day of racing, Halloween-themed fun for all ages, and powerful community impact - all set against the iconic backdrop of Aintree Racecourse, home of the world-famous Randox Grand National.

Funds raised through Nugent’s race day activities and sponsorship packages will go directly towards delivering its ambitious new strategic plan.

With five clear priorities - accommodation, employability, poverty alleviation, quality of life, and making memories - the leading charity is focused on building a lifelong pathway of support for individuals and communities across the Liverpool City region and the wider North West.

 

Dickon White, Aintree and North West Director at The Jockey Club, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Nugent for this year’s Halloween Family Day.

“At Aintree, community is at the heart of everything we do, and this partnership feels like a perfect fit. The event promises to bring families together for a fantastic day of racing and entertainment, all while supporting an organisation making a real difference across the North West.”

Jo Henney, Chief Executive of Nugent, added: “We are incredibly proud to partner with Aintree Racecourse and The Jockey Club for this fantastic event.

“The Nugent Halloween Family Day is not just about racing - it’s also about rallying our community to create real and lasting change. Every pound raised helps us provide safe places to live, brighter futures through skills and employment, support for those facing poverty, and opportunities for people to live full and meaningful lives.”

 

As well as enjoying a full day of entertainment and top-tier racing, supporters will have the chance to take part in exciting fundraising activities, all while helping to fund services that adapt to people’s needs at every stage of life.
