Ascot Racecourse

During the COVID-19 crisis, Ascot Racecourse will be doing its part in supporting its local community, charities and importantly the NHS - all of whom are facing unprecedented challenges during these difficult times.

Ascot Racecourse Supports have been helping Windsor & Maidenhead foodbanks with their food supply chain and helping pack up parcels.

On 30th March 2020, Slough Foodbank received a grant from Ascot Racecourse’s Community Fund held via the Berkshire Community Fund for £6,000. The grant has enabled a quick delivery of £3,000 worth of foods supplies, ordered through Ascot’s food supply chain, which the Foodbank had been struggling to obtain.

Windsor, Maidenhead and Slough Foodbanks are doing everything possible to provide people in food poverty with nutritionally balanced emergency food.

Since Friday, 3rd April, volunteer employees from Ascot Racecourse and its security partners, CSP, have been providing a driving service to help NHS Frimley Trust transport medical staff and/or equipment between their hospital sites.

To date they have clocked up over 390 volunteer hours.

More recently, the racecourse has become a drive-through testing site for NHS workers and family members.
