Fundraising activity consisted of efforts such as its ever-popular Christmas Jumpers sale, which alone raised ₤ 20,000 for Racing Welfare, as well as crucial support of the inaugural Voice Of Racing Day, which continues to raise much-needed funds for the Sir Peter O'Sullevan Charitable Trust, Injured Jockeys Fund and Irish Injured Jockeys.
