Racing Welfare has outlined a streamlined process for those that work in the British racing and breeding industries who have been financially affected by COVID-19 to apply for a hardship grant. The grants have been calculated into fortnightly amounts for a single applicant (£150) and a family (£210) and are intended to cover basic needs. Those in need of support should call the following numbers between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.:
Malton: 01653 696 869
Middleham: 01969 624 123
Lambourn: 01488 670 034
Newmarket: 01638 560 763
For assistance outside business hours, Racing's Support Line is available 24 hours a day (0800 6300 443), or there is a 24-hour live chat service at www.racingwelfare.co.uk.
