Racing Welfare Celebrates Quarter-Century

[Wandering Eyes]

Racing Welfare marked its 25th anniversary with a dinner at Windsor Castle, with Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal in attendance. The only racing charity that supports all of racing's workforce–from stable staff and racecourse employees to stud workers and retirees–the anniversary represents a significant moment in recognising its lasting contribution to the wellbeing of the sport's people.

The evening, hosted by Tom Stanley, brought together individuals from across the racing community, dedicated supporters, and key partners to reflect on Racing Welfare's impact since its formation in 2000. The charity's president, Her Royal Highness addressed the gathering with a tribute to the work of Racing Welfare and commitment to those it serves.

Guests were welcomed at Windsor Castle, where they enjoyed a drinks reception and dinner. During the evening, Warren Greatrex gave an emotive personal account of the support provided by Racing Welfare to him and his team in tragic circumstances, giving guests an insight into the charity's vital services in action.

Racing Welfare chief executive Dawn Goodfellow said, “To be able to celebrate this milestone in the company of so many who have supported and championed Racing Welfare is a truly special moment. We are especially honoured by the presence and continued presidency of Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, whose support means so much to the charity and the people we serve. This event not only marks our 25th anniversary year, but also reaffirms our commitment to being there for racing's people, whenever and wherever they need us, and to making sure that everyone in racing knows: you are not alone.”
