ABOUT THE IRISH MOTORSPORT BENEVOLENT FUND

The Irish Motorsport Benevolent Fund is a registered charity (No. CHY 11906). It was set up in 1997.

The sole object of the fund is to provide relief from hardship for Motorsport Ireland Competition Licence Holders and their families where the hardship has arisen as a result of an injury suffered by the licence holder while competing in motorsport events held under the rules of the FIA, Motorsport or other ASN.

The Fund is managed by five Trustees who are appointed by the Motorsport Ireland Commission each year.

The Fund’s help is limited to financial assistance.

The Fund is not able to offer counselling or advice.

By the end of 2008, the Fund had distributed nearly €160,000 to a total of 12 beneficiaries.
