Racing Jockey Club to donate 10,000 tickets to Merseyside NHS and care sector staff

The Jockey Club has announced it will donate 10,000 tickets to the NHS and social care sector in Merseyside for the first day of the 2021 Grand National Festival at Aintree.

The day will also be renamed Liverpool’s NHS Day in honour of the dedicated NHS staff and volunteers across Merseyside who are working to care for COVID-19 patients.

The Jockey Club will ensure professional carers from the social-care sector will also benefit from the initiative.

This year’s National meeting was cancelled amid the coronavirus outbreak, with racing in Britain on hold until at least the end of April.
