In the 1960s the foundation of the Club was primarily that of supporting charitable causes, a core purpose that has continued through to this day. The original Doghouse Benevolent Fund helped many in those early years, taking care of families in the racing community stricken by accident, misfortune and grief.
Fundraising continues to play a crucial role in the sustainability and growth of our Club today. It goes to support our new initiatives and fosters a sense of community and engagement among our members. Through various fundraising initiatives we continue to support our charitable causes, create opportunities for collaboration and help raise awareness of our mission and values, encouraging the next generation to get involved.
Together we have made a significant impact to Charity – raising over £3m to date!
