RACING TOGETHER COMMUNITY DAY

THURSDAY 25 MAY 2023

Racing’s national day of volunteering in support of local people, Racing Together Community Day, returns on Thursday 25 May, when all those involved in the sport are invited to give their time for good causes. Racing organisations already signed up include Tattersalls, Goffs UK, Lycetts, the Thoroughbred Breeders Association and a wide variety of trainers, racecourses and education providers such as the British Racing School and National Horseracing College. This year there is a particular focus on food poverty within local areas and partnerships with Newmarket Open Door and The Lambourn Junction are creating focal points for donations within racing communities.

John Blake, CEO of Racing Together, said: “We’re pleased to announce this year’s date for the popular Racing Together Community Day and hope to build on last year’s efforts, which engaged 65 racing organisations and gave us wonderful stories of racing teams helping out at food banks, hospices, local community areas and much more. ”

The Bank Holiday to mark the Coronation of King Charles III takes place two weeks prior on Monday 8 May and as part of ‘The Big Help Out’ initiative people are being invited to take part in volunteering projects within their local community Racing’s volunteering efforts throughout May will form part of The Big Help Out initiative and Racing Together’s Community Day.
