EIGHTH RACE 5.20

Our involvement in community and charitable activities in Newmarket has the single aim of making a positive impact to Newmarket as a whole. Whether it’s a collaborative role in some of the large number of ongoing community projects or using our own resources and expertise, we enjoy playing our part. Our community work has taken many different forms over the years, and continues to evolve to match the ever changing needs of Newmarket and its residents. Examples include support of the ongoing education programmes in conjunction with Godolphin at local primary schools and the Newmarket Academy, as well as being involved in improvements to the Memorial Gardens. More recently, during the pandemic organisations from right across Newmarket came together to support the town and its residents. This included setting up helplines, delivering food parcels and organising a Christmas parade The relationships and positive momentum created during the last few years has continued, with recent projects including:

– Improving the Yellow Brick Road

– Clearing the Community Orchard

– Partnering with Newmarket Open Door

– Delivering ongoing talks on road safety in local schools

– Supporting the grassroots teams of Newmarket FC We have plenty more projects in the pipeline and for as long as The Jockey Club is in Newmarket, we will remain committed to contributing positively to the community Our community work also extends to longer term initiatives to help the town, Such as being involved in an exciting new initiative called The Newmarket Charitable Foundation.
