THE INJURED JOCKEYS FUND 

Our prime purpose is to provide help, financial and otherwise, to those jockeys past or present who are injured, unable to ride or generally in need. These beneficiaries, their families and dependants receive pastoral care from the IJF almoners as well as financial assistance.
