Thanks to the generosity of the racing community, we are thrilled to announce that our Covid-19 Emergency Appeal has reached a major milestone by surpassing the £250,000 mark, currently sitting at a huge £252,243! The appeal seeks to raise £500k to make up for income lost following the cancellation of our fundraising events due to take place during the first half of 2020.
It has been wonderful to see the whole racing community come together in support of Racing Welfare over the last few months. Prior to the resumption of racing , the appeal was kick-started by The Furlong Factor, which combined with the NightIn4Nightout campaign to raise an incredible £50k.
“The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has been felt throughout the racing industry. For Racing Welfare the cancellation of many of our usual fundraising events has seen us face a huge income deficit at a time when our services have never been more needed. ” said Dawn Goodfellow,
