This June, Leicester Racecourse will play host to an Ascot Ladies Day Experience in aid of local hospice, LOROS. The event will take place, simultaneously, with the Royal Ascot Ladies Day on Thursday 18th June.
Giant plasma screens will broadcast all of the action live from Ascot directly into Leicester Racecourse where spectators will have the chance to wine, dine, shop and place bets just as they would at Ascot!
With live entertainment, awards for “best dressed”, super cars, a four course lunch and shopping this is set to be a fantastic day out which LOROS hope will raise in excess of £10,000. This could pay for 1,000 patients to be collected from their homes and brought to LOROS Day Therapy where they would take part in creative activities, access complimentary therapies and seek advice from specialist doctors and physiotherapists before being returned home later that day.
Each year LOROS need to raise £4.5 million to continue providing their unique care services to the people of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
Laura Betts, LOROS Fundraiser said: “This year marks LOROS’ 30th Anniversary and during those years we have cared for over 30,000 people. It’s incredible to think about the amount of people who have accessed our services over the years. We are really excited about reaching the big 3-0 and hope that our calendar of new and exciting events will encourage people to continue supporting LOROS.”
