Racing Welfare

Racing Welfare was Betfair's Charity of the Year in 2005. £250,000 was raised for the charity under Betfair's matched funding scheme.

Racing Welfare is recognised as Racing's leading welfare charity providing an accessible, responsive and professional occupational welfare service to all of Racing's people including employers, employees and the retired. It supports the unsung heroes who form the backbone of the racing industry. These include not just stud and stable staff, but also gallop men and racecourse staff.

The Pride of Racing Awards is a legacy of the partnership. These unique awards celebrate the unsung heroes of the racing industry; those who make British racing special and who, in various ways, enhance the lives of others involved in the industry.

This year's event will takes place in London on the 16th October. All details can be found on www.prideofracing.co.uk
