the Injured Jockeys FUnd
Providing care, compassion and financial help, to injured jockeys
Founded in 1964 following the devastating accidents to Tim Brookshaw, and then Paddy Farrell in the 1964 Grand National, the Injured Jockeys Fund has since spent over £17m in helping over 1000 jockeys whose injuries have forced some of them to give up riding. Our aim is to maintain this ethos with continuing support for our existing beneficiaries and to provide immediate and effective help to all newly injured jockeys in whatever way is appropriate to ensure a reasonable quality of life for them and their families.
