The Injured Jockeys Fund ...
Providing care, compassion and financial help to injured jockeys.
Founded in 1964 following the devastating
accidents to Tim Brookshaw, and then Paddy Farrell in the 1964
Grand National, the IJF has since spent over £16m in helping
over 1000 jockeys whose injuries have forced some of them to give
up riding.
Our aim is to maintain this ethos with continuing support for
our existing beneficiaries and to provide immediate and effective
help to all newly injured jockeys in whatever way is appropriate
to ensure a reasonable quality of life for them and their families.
