The Horseracing Industry People Board (HIPB) announced on Thursday that it has secured funding from the Racing Foundation and Horserace Betting Levy Board (HBLB) to support the implementation of its immediate programme of activity for 2025.
The funding approval follows the publication earlier this year of Our People, Racing's Future, an industry-backed strategy to attract and retain a highly-skilled and well-supported workforce across British racing and breeding.
The Racing Foundation and HBLB have agreed funding grants of £489,929 and £269,438, respectively–a combined contribution of over £759,000.
Julia Tyson, chair of the HIPB, said, “We are very grateful to the Racing Foundation and Horserace Betting Levy Board for providing this vital funding to support the HIPB's immediate programme of activity for 2025.
“This is a significant additional investment in racing's people, which will allow us to deliver new activity and accelerate work already underway, with an immediate focus on supporting those in horse-facing roles.”
