Significant events
- “In 2025, the Support Line recorded 1,420 contacts, a 32% rise on the previous year, alongside support provided in nine critical incidents.”
- “2025 was an exceptional year for fundraising. Three major events, the Castle to Abbey Challenge, the 25th Anniversary Fundraising Dinner at Windsor Castle... and the inaugural Racing Come Dancing, raised a combined net total of over £327,000.”
- “In total, 1,799 (2024: 1,669) individuals sought Racing Welfare's support in 2025. This represents a 7% year on year increase and is reflective of the trend for increased demand on the charity sector as a whole.”
- “During 2025, community engagement activity continued to expand in both reach and impact. A notable highlight was the Middleham Open Day, which attracted over 2,500 visitors, including local MP Rishi Sunak, and raised more than £20,000 in support of the charity.”
