Complaints Procedure
Beyond Racing is a charity supporting the welfare of horses that have retired from racing. We are committed to providing a high standard of service to everyone we deal with, but we recognise that sometimes we might get things wrong.
How to make a complaint
If you wish to make a complaint about the charity’s activities or how you have been treated either as a participant or an employee/volunteer, you can speak to or write to the Board of Directors. A complaint should preferably be made in writing. Complaints should be notified as soon as possible after occurrence of the events giving rise to the complaint, and normally no later than 30 days after that date. Anonymous complaints will not be considered; the complainant must provide their full name and contact details. Please remember that social media sites are public spaces and are not the appropriate channel for raising concerns.
