Racing Foundation seeks new Trustee

April 7, 2025 | In the News

The Racing Foundation is seeking a new Trustee to join its Board from July 1, 2025. To date, the Foundation has given nearly £40million of grants to support charitable purposes associated with the horseracing and Thoroughbred breeding industry.

This is an exciting period to join the Foundation as it enters its new three-year strategy for 2025-2027 and further develops its role within the sport to ensure it has a positive impact in its key areas of focus – equine welfare, racing’s people and ESG (including social impact, social licence and environmental sustainability).

The Foundation is looking for someone who has a strong empathy with its charitable purpose. An interest in racing is essential, as is some prior experience of working within a charitable environment, either as a Trustee, volunteer, or employee. At this time, one or more of the following experiences, knowledge and professional backgrounds would be of particular relevance to the role:

  • – Experience and/or knowledge of grant-making.
  • – Experience and/or knowledge of environmental sustainability.
  • – Experience and/or knowledge of social impact/social licence.
  • – A voice that represents the next generation.
