THE CHARITY THAT INSPIRES YOUNG MINDS
Racing League's Official Racing Charity Partner since its inception, Racing to School works to inspire young minds at every GB racecourse and other unique venues through free, interactive, and healthy outdoor educational events.
In 2023, Racing to School delivered 400 events across the country – engaging over 16,200 young people.
For 23 years, the charity has worked to engage young people from all backgrounds, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Over a third of the unique activity days are targeted to support those located in inner city, rural and deprived areas.
The charity’s dedicated team has a range of industry backgrounds, including former jockeys who have retrained to develop their second careers, using their experience to introduce horseracing as an accessible sport to young people.
Racing to School also delivers its popular Riders’ Programme, working with Pony Clubs, equine colleges and universities to showcase the many training and employment opportunities on offer within horseracing. Two Beacon Projects in Aintree and Newmarket focus on working with schools local to these important racing centres through bespoke programmes of learning activity within the community.
