85 retired racing staff from the Newmarket area will be attending a special coffee morning at Palace House, Newmarket; The National Heritage Centre for Horseracing and Sporting Art on Tuesday 10th October, World Mental Health Day.
Racing Welfare is aware that loneliness and social isolation is a growing problem nationally and it can be a major contributory factor leading to serious health problems. The charity is therefore launching a new scheme to benefit the mental wellbeing of racing’s retired people by providing membership to Palace House to allow people to visit, free of charge, throughout the year.
