Paul Innes is Chairman of the National Jockeys Trust, a public charitable trust which provides funds and other benefits for the relief of financial difficulties for jockeys who have suffered from career-threatening illness or injury.
Since its establishment in 2004, the trust has helped over three hundred jockeys with equipment and resources to assist them during and after recovery, relieving financial hardship and providing the support, kindness and recognition jockeys and their families deserve.
In this podcast, Mr Innes discusses the formation of the trust in response to a growing need for national jockey support, the dangers prevalent in the horse-riding industry, and the trust’s plans to provide an even greater level of support for ill and injured jockeys in the future.
