The Just Giving page set up by Chester Race Company to help support the production of meals for emergency front line workers was quickly re-purposed when it transpired the racecourse could no longer operate the production of meals from the racecourse site. The monies raised through your kind donations have gone direct to 'The Hospital Fund', a fund which has been set up to support staff across all areas of The Countess & Ellesmere Port Hospital during this very difficult time. Thank you all for your generosity and kindness.

It is with great regret that I announce that we have been forced to suspend food production in respect of the NHS and emergency workers free meal service. The funds raised to date via our Just Giving page, set up to support this initiative, will now go direct to The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. My deepest gratitude goes out all those dealing directly with the on-going crisis. Yours in appreciation, Richard Thomas Chief Executive, Chester Race Company Read the full statement here: https://www.chester-races.com/
