ROAD 2 RECOVERY (UK) ANNUAL REPORT
04/24-04/25
REPORT
The Trustees of Road 2 Recovery (UK) continued to work hard during the year 04/2404/25 to establish the charity which is linked to the original Road 2 Recovery in the USA.
The UK charity continues to grow but the four trustees – Jamie Dobb, Mark Davies, Roddy Brooks and Jimmy Button - are working to establish it as the first point of contact when competitors in motocross in the UK suffer serious injury.
The charity is also engaged in supporting the families of competitors who suffer a fatality while competing in motocross in the UK.
The year in question was a challenging one because of several factors, including a general decline in competitor numbers due to the high costs associated with this type of sporting activity.
Regardless the charity continued to have a presence at UK events through the work of its trustees and benefitted from the participants and spectators at events who not only supported fundraising activities but also made generous donations.
Events attended included the World Vets MX at Farleigh Castle and the Motocross of Nations at Matterley Basin.
Donations included a sizeable donation £2,128 from former schoolboy MX racers who had a riding reunion event under the organisation of Mike Allport.
The trustees aim to continue activities throughout the next year and will support injured competitors to aid them on their road to recover wherever the trustees see fit after comprehensive examination of all requests.
