“We are so grateful for the help and time the British Thoroughbred Retraining Centre team are giving to The Centre today. I have Multiple Sclerosis and struggle with the amount of jobs to do here, so this is such a great help.”

“Our team of Newmarket racing-related businesses had an amazing opportunity to improve our local area this week through sign cleaning, litter picking and much more. It was a fantastic example of team working and we hope has made a visible difference to our local area.”
