The Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund (SRBF) is a Registered Charity.

The SRBF exists solely for the purpose of assisting Speedway riders who have became seriously injured, been forced into long-term sickness from their work, or whose lives have been devastated as a result of accidents whilst racing Speedway for British-based teams.

It helps in many different ways, including the purchasing of items such as wheelchairs and other facilities to assist with disabilities of the beneficiaries, as well as providing assistance in areas such as alterations to living accommodation.

Over the past three years, the fund has helped 120 riders with over £150,000 of assistance.

As a registered charity, the Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund is administered and controlled by a board of four trustees who, as well as being responsible for the day-to-day operation, also ensure full transparency of accounts by submitting annual audits to the Charities Commissioners.

The main income of the Fund is raised by kind and generous donations from loyal speedway supporters across the world.  Collections in aid of the Fund are held at every speedway track throughout the season, complimented by other donations and individual fundraising events.

Many supporters are active in raising money, and awareness, through sponsored activities for example half- marathons, writing books, and even recording of a CD. and those of you who visit "ebay" will often see auctions for items to benefit the SRBF.

The SRBF website (www.srbf.co.uk) gives access for you to be able to contribute to the Fund directly.
