The Injured Jockey's Trust

Since 1964 the Injured Jockeys Fund has provided medical, financial and pastoral care, to jockeys (their spouses, or dependants) who have suffered through injury. There is no time or financial limit to this care which is there for as long as is necessary. Fortunately not all cases are of the severest nature, however in some instances injuries have been catastrophic, changing a jockeys life forever.

The Fund responds quickly to all cases where help is required. Last year 2009, we provided help to over 500 injured jockeys of which 35 were new cases. Individual circumstances tend to be quite different and so require varying levels and types of support, but whatever the need, the IJF will always ensure the closest of care and attention
