Berkshire Community Foundation

Since 2017, we have partnered with Berkshire Community Foundation (BCF) who identify vital causes in the county and make grants to local charities and community groups. The racecourse has a dedicated fund that provides over £35,000 per annum to support local charity and community group initiatives.
Our funding has helped thousands of direct beneficiaries and we are delighted to have been able to offer support to the following organisations:



Ascot employees have also enrolled in a joint Volunteer Programme with BCF that enables staff to make a difference to charities and groups who benefit from our team’s time, expertise and friendship.  We have also been able to assist other charities via ad hoc donations of furniture and stock. 

Jon Yates, Chief Operating Officer, Berkshire Community Fund said, “The partnership with Ascot Racecourse and BCF is an exemplar of Corporate Social Responsibility in action. It is inspiring to see an organisation with a worldwide reputation caring so much for people in local communities and delivering support with funding, time and materials.  BCF are so proud to be a partner in this endeavour helping Ascot achieve their aims by helping people in need.”

During the Covid-19 pandemic, we were also able to divert funds to help those most at need including local foodbanks who were also able to utilise the racecourse’s food supply chain.
