Market Rasen Racecourse has chosen Lincoln-based Nomad Trust as its charity of the year.
The new partnership will begin on Ladies Day’ at the racecourse on Friday, June 2, the same day X Factor runner-up Olly Murs will be performing.
General manager at the racecourse Nadia Powell said: “We are delighted to have formed this new partnership with The Nomad Trust at the racecourse for 2017-18.
“The charity has done hugely valuable work over the last 31 years providing a welfare service to adults who, for whatever reason, have become homeless.”
The Nomad Trust was set up in 1986 and celebrated its 30th anniversary last year and the Christian-based charity operates in Lincoln providing help for those who are homeless.
Rachael Hewett, fundraising officer at the trust said: “Horse racing is Britain’s second biggest spectator sport so, with Market Rasen Racecourse being such a popular destination in our home county of Lincolnshire, this new partnership will help boost our charity’s profile.
“We are thrilled to become the venue’s 2017-18 ‘charity of the year’ and to be launching this partnership on Ladies’ Day.”
Tickets are still available to purchase for Ladies’ Day tomorrow (June 2) and they are priced from £35.

Residents have slammed a Home Office engagement meeting regarding its plans for the RAF Scampton asylum centre, labelling it “propaganda.”
The government agency scheduled two sessions at the Lincolnshire Showground for Thursday evening: the first targeted local residents identified as vulnerable by the Department for Health and Social Care, and the second was for local business owners. However, attendees left the meetings visibly annoyed.
Anyone who does a lap of Lincoln High Street will have noticed a number of odd tarmac fillings on the pedestrianised area, which stick out like a sore thumb given how they are weaved between brickwork and cobbled areas.
We have put these to the county council to find out why they have been done, and if we can expect them to return to a more consistent look in-keeping with the area.
