Epsom Racing Staff Welfare (ERSW)

The Epsom Racing Staff Welfare was established as a registered charity in 1999 with a view to improving welfare and conditions for the racing staff in Epsom.

The lads and lasses who work in Epsom's racing stables are responsible for the care of extremely valuable bloodstock whose every need is catered for by this dedicated workforce. They work in all weathers, at all times of the day and night, covering every day of the year, to ensure these equine athletes can compete in the international horseracing industry representing this town. Epsom Downs has a unique place in the history of the evolution of horseracing and the culture lives on in spite of the increasing urbanization of the area.

From the outset, the primary target for the Charity has been the establishment of affordable accommodation which has, for a long time, been almost impossible to find in Epsom's affluent commuter belt. The creation of better facilities will lead to stables being able to attract and retain quality staff, and this in turn, will support the restoration of Epsom as a primary training centre.
