At Racing Welfare, we love bringing people together. That’s why we host numerous events all over the UK to help our retired staff, their partners, and carers beat loneliness and isolation. Our trips offer a chance to reconnect with old friends and enjoy a fun social gathering with those who share similar interests.
Every year, we take a group of our retired beneficiaries on a week-long holiday, generously sponsored by Godolphin. These holidays create lasting memories and have a hugely positive impact on our beneficiaries’ mental wellbeing by bringing together the retired community.
We know that retired racing staff based outside the traditional racing centres may be at greater risk of becoming lonely or socially isolated. Therefore, it is an important part of our work to ensure we can reach as many of these individuals as we possibly can.
