Secure Protected Funding for Greyhound Welfare
The Greyhound Board of Great Britain (GBGB) are calling for statutory funding from bookmakers to support the welfare of canine athletes at every stage of their lives.
THE NEED FOR A Statutory LEVY
Greyhounds are more than just racers; they’re cherished companions who deserve the highest standard of care from birth to retirement. Sadly, the current reliance on voluntary contributions from bookmakers is unsustainable, putting essential welfare programmes at risk.
GBGB is asking all betting companies to commit to a minimum contribution of their turnover from greyhound racing towards greyhound welfare, replacing the current voluntary levy, where bookmakers contribute only a fraction of their profits if they choose to participate
Your passion for animal welfare can make a real difference. By joining our campaign, you can help secure a statutory levy on bookmakers, ensuring consistent funding for greyhound welfare.
