Reach Learning Disability named as chosen charity for Advertiser Ladies Day at Southwell Racecourse for second year
An organisation which helps enrich the lives of adults with learning disabilities has been selected as the Ladies Day chosen charity.
Reach Learning Disability, which has bases in Newark, Southwell, and Mansfield, is the chosen charity of this year’s Advertiser Ladies Day at Southwell Racecourse.
Alongside the thrills of horse racing, glitz, glamour, and jugs of Pimms, the major social event will also be a key fundraising opportunity for Reach — for the second year running.
A spokesman for Reach said: “We’re honoured to be chosen again as the Ladies Day charity partner, following great success last year thanks to everyone's generosity.
“The event offers a wonderful opportunity for us to raise important funds to support our work in the community.
“We’ll be running a raffle and our popular stiletto toss game on race day, and we look forward to seeing everyone there. Thank you for helping us make a difference.”
Reach empowers adults with learning disabilities to live happier, healthier, and more independent lives through courses, three day centres, its two Flower Pods, assisted living accommodation, socials, and holidays.
Without the support and activities offered at Reach’s centres, many adults with learning disabilities face unfulfilling lives, could be stuck at home, and their parents and carers may have no respite.
Mark Clayton, executive director of Southwell Racecourse, said: “Working with Reach as our Advertiser Ladies Day nominated charity for the second year in a row is an absolute pleasure. They are a local charity with close links to Southwell and the work they do at the Flower Pod in Southwell is just fantastic.
“We look forward to their visit, helping them maintain a high local profile and raising some much needed funds.”
Tickets are still available for this year’s Ladies Day, which takes place on Sunday, August 17, from www.southwell-racecourse.co.uk.
It promises a day of racing, fashion, and a live 80s music show to finish it all off — with organisers hoping to surpass last year’s record crowd of more than 9,000 people.
