Please sponsor Poppy and Peanut as we raise money for the Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund by taking part in the Mascot Gold Cup at wetherby on April 23rd

The Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund exists solely for the purpose of offering support and assistance to speedway riders who have been seriously injured, forced into long-term sickness from their work, or whose lives have been devastated as a result of accidents whilst racing for British-based teams.

It helps in many different ways, including the purchasing of items such as wheelchairs and other facilities to assist with disabilities of the beneficiaries, as well as providing assistance in areas such as alterations to living accommodation.
As a registered charity, the Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund is administered and controlled by a board of four trustees who, as well as being responsible for the day-to-day operation, also ensure full transparency of accounts by submitting annual audits to the Charities Commissioners.
The main income of the Fund is raised by kind and generous donations from loyal speedway supporters across the world. Collections in aid of the Fund are held at every speedway track throughout the season, complimented by other donations and individual fundraising events.
One of the main events associated with the Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund is the Ben Fund Bonanza, generally held at the start of each speedway season. This event always attracts a field of top riders from around the world, and is supported by speedway fans nationwide.
