Matching Donations Pound-for-Pound to Support Injured Jockeys
Baillie Haylage, a trusted supplier to the UK racing industry, is proud to announce a new fundraising initiative benefiting the Injured Jockeys Fund (IJF) throughout the month of December. They have asked their customers to kindly donate a voluntary additional 50p on every bale they purchase in December, with Baillie Haylage matching each donation pound-for-pound, ensuring a like-for-like contribution to the vital cause.
Supporting Jockeys in Need
The Injured Jockeys Fund provides financial assistance and rehabilitation to jockeys who have suffered life-changing injuries while pursuing their profession. The importance of the Injured Jockeys Fund to the racing community cannot be overstated, as it offers crucial support to injured jockeys and their families during challenging times.
In addition to the donations from haylage sales, Baillie Haylage have set up a JustGiving page to allow customers outside of the racing industry, as well as the public, to make contributions.
"JP [McNamara] used to ride for me, and his fall [in 2006] was my first real involvement with how the IJF worked and I just cannot give enough praise to what this remarkable charity, the IJF, did for JP and his family and as a result the IJF is number one charity to support."
Kim Bailey - Baillie Haylage CustomerIn more recent times following Lauren Hawkins fall this year “I must say again how wonderful the Injured Jockeys Fund and their Team have been to Lauren's family. Their support has been brilliant and hugely appreciated.”
