Galloping To Give has a proven track record of creating exhilarating and educational experiences for the die-hard follower to those who are just scratching the surface. We have organised many a morning on the gallops or stable yard visits, as well as managing interviews on national media.

One of our values is to encourage, and we want to encourage you – whether that's as an individual or a group - to come and learn more about our business and what this superb sport has to offer!

THE ORIENTAL CLUB

For nearly two hundred years, the Oriental Club has been an iconic Central London focal point for those who have lived, worked or travelled in the East. Today, a diverse membership values the modern amenities of Stratford House
and the attentive service offered by the Club’s Staff.

Their Members come first and are encouraged, as custodians, to nurture the Club for future generations, whilst embracing continuing innovation. It offers a vibrant social scene, excellent business facilities and a forward thinking approach to Club life.

RE-CYCLE

Re-Cycle has been sending bikes to Africa for 25 years and has sent over 125,000 bikes and hundreds of thousands of spare parts. During this time, the bikes and spare parts that we have sent have helped thousands of people in rural communities across Africa and specifically; Ghana, Sierra Leone, South Africa, The Gambia and Zambia.

All the bikes and parts they receive are donated by the generous UK public. Each bike that is received into our warehouse is checked and if suitable for Africa, prepped and loaded onto a shipping container and sent to one of our partners.

Once our partner receives these bikes in country, they are rebuilt and distributed into the local community either through their programmes or sold and the money the partner receives for the sale goes towards supporting the work that they do in the community.

Alongside this, Re-Cycle often receive bikes that are unsuitable for Africa, but which we can sell in the UK to fund our work. Bikes like racing bikes or bikes with complex parts wouldn’t remain sustainable in Africa, so our qualified bike mechanic fixes them up ready for sale, which can be purchased from warehouse near Colchester.

Requirement

Reality

For the first time ever, the Re-Cycle office was closed and all seven staff members were treated to an informative morning in Newmarket - the headquarters of British Racing. After a delicious breakfast at the Pantry in Newmarket, it was a short drive to Kremlin House - Tom Clover's stables.

The group were treated to watching the horses warm up before heading out onto Warren Hill gallops to watch his horses exercise before returning to the stables for another walk around and to meet some of the horses close up.

Asking questions was actively encouraged and we hope they all left feeling more informed that when they arrived.

Our thanks again to Re-Cycle for their support and we look forward to hosting another team building day soon.

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

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

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

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.
