Purpose:

Go Racing in Yorkshire and Racing Together are proud to coordinate the pilot year for the Yorkshire Racing Beacon Programme, a year of activity that brings together community-focussed events that unite this racing region as a force for good in local communities. With all nine Yorkshire racecourses, the National Horseracing College, Jack Berry House, Goffs UK and trainer Jo Foster already on board, the team coordinating the pilot are calling for more Yorkshire racing businesses to get in touch to see how they can support this new initiative. Yorkshire racing already engages around 1,000 young people in a normal year through education activity; volunteers 200 hours and raises over £790,000 for charities. Plans for this year include education and careers days; presentations and competitions; Autism in Racing days; volunteering; charity racedays and much more.
