Ecomotive Logistics

Requirement
This Leicestershire based firm, who are one of the industry leaders in vehicle delivery, wanted to trial some different events for their large team of staff. They also didn't have the time to organise anything out of the ordinary themselves as their work is very time consuming. 
 
Galloping To Give was asked to send across a variety of priced up packages for both the racedays and stable tours. 
Reality
Ecomotive Logistics have very much embraced the Galloping To Give ethos by showing their staff a different kind of horse power. 
 
Since 2021, they have brought a total of seventy team members to numerous days out including race days at Newmarket (twice) and Warwick as well as stable tours at both Tom Clover's and Alex Hales' stables. They have come away feeling much more knowledgeable about the sport and importantly have enjoyed time socialising off site and away from the office in some stunning surroundings. 
 
We have enjoyed hosting them, particularly as they are so supportive of Galloping To Give and can clearly visualise the benefit to their company culture. We look forward to hosting more events for their clients and staff in 2023.

Kim Bailey Racing

Kim Bailey is one of the most recognised trainers in the racing game having the extraordinary record of gaining victories in the Grand National (1990 Mr. Frisk) and the unique Cheltenham Festival double in 1995 of Champion Hurdle (Alderbrook) and Gold Cup (Master Oats). He was also on the scoresheet at the 2020 Festival with Imperial Aura.

Requirement

Establish an ownership syndicate with a focus on raising funds and awareness for charity as well as attracting new owners to the yard. The initial objective being to raise £10,000.

Reality

Three successful charity syndicates established since 2012 and still ongoing.

£50,000 (and counting!) generated to date for causes including Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital Kidney Patients Association, Kidney Research UK and Maggie’s Cancer Centre in Cheltenham.

Numerous new owners have joined Kim's stable having been introduced through our charity syndicates. The flag continues to be flown through Another Venture running in the colours of Maggie's Charity Partnership (pictured below) who is now in his fifth season of racing.

Countless mornings on the gallops for charity supporters, unrivalled owner hospitality at racecourses and visits to the charities to hear of the impact our donations are making.

Polar Capital

Requirement

Polar Capital, a boutique investment led asset manager, had hosted many annual racedays until the pandemic. In 2022, after a four year pause, they wanted to revisit this for principally as a means of entertaining their clients and approached Galloping To Give to source some quotes for a day at Newmarket races with box hospitality owing to some of their senior team already had links to trainers in the area. 

Reality
In May 2022, Galloping To Give hosted a superb afternoon on the Rowley Mile course for 20 people. George Scott, a local trainer, ran through the card and gave the group some recommendations for each race whilst Polar Capital and their guests were treated to a delicious two course lunch in an exclusive private box with first class views across the racecourse. 
 
Everyone seemed to enjoy their afternoon and we are in discussions about repeating a raceday for Polar this year.

Kidney Research UK

Requirement

Generate an attractive and alternative revenue stream with diverse media opportunities focusing on horse racing.

Reality

£12,000 raised through a bespoke racing syndicate (called ''Racing for Research Partnership'') that ran for three years - two more than the original brief.

Donations were received from owner contributions as well as a percentage from prize money earned by both horses. The charity's name and logo appeared on the Partnership's racing silks with  Sparville, one of our horses, securing a much celebrated win at Southwell.  

Richard Pitman was subsequently recruited as an Ambassador for both Kidney Research UK  having been an altruistic kidney donor in 2012.  

Further highlights included an interview at the Cheltenham Festival on Channel 4 to promote the charity's World Kidney Day 2013 campaign with Ambassador Richard Pitman (former Champion Jockey and BBC Racing Correspondent) alongside actor and Partnership owner Nathaniel Parker.

Maggie’s Cancer Centre, Cheltenham

Requirement

Establish a sustainable charity syndicate, raise £10,000 and an increased awareness of the charity's Centre in Cheltenham.

Reality

A two-horse syndicate was created running initially for two years called the Racing for Maggie's Partnership. 

Donations were received from owner contributions as well as a percentage from prize money earned along with the charity’s branding on the racing colors.  

The initial fundraising was smashed with £25,000 fundraised within 18 months and pleasingly the partnership continues to operate five years later still with Another Venture - one of the original horses.  

Media coverage was secured with articles in the Racing Post, interviews on BBC Radio Gloucestershire and on Sky Sports Racing. 

The Maggie’s Centre in Cheltenham also opened its doors for partnership members to bring them closer to the cause and allow them to learn about the work of the Centre that had been supported through funds raised from the Racing Partnership.  

One of the direct impacts was the increase in the number of counselling support patients and their families were able to receive as a result of the Partnership’s donations.
