This season alone we have paid out £16,750 which has helped 36 riders and families.
 
This has come as a bit of a shock, it is unprecedented and frankly unsustainable without support.
 
We were feeling worried and a bit down… and then we received this message which I have permission to share.
 
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO.
 

Thanks so much for the card from all you guys really appreciate it and all yous do!

Needless to say the money you sent will help this month’s mortgage as I don’t get sick pay from work any more because the amount of times I’ve used it for collar bone wrist ankle and now leg.

All under 10 years I’ll be going in to explain my self no one sees this side of racing.
 
Once again thanks for all yous do!
 
What can we say!
 

And Then There Were 5

We hope along with the registered charity status and Robert on board this will help us raise our profile and explore new ways to fundraise in order to support injured riders,

Many of you will know Robert through his brother Eddie and his mother, our own legend and founder member Sheila Sinton MBE.

We look forward to new opportunities with our strong and dedicated team.

Carrowdore 100 Classic and Vintage Motorcycle Show – Thank You
 
The Injured Riders Welfare Fund (IRWF) were privileged to be invited to the Carrowdore 100 Show on Saturday 20th September 2025.
 
The show was organised by a long term supporter of the IRWF David Carleton and members of the church committee, it attracted a huge crowd who enjoyed the various displays and also watched or took part in, commemorative parade laps of the Carrowdore 100 circuit.
 
The IRWF took the opportunity to sell various fundraising items on the day, also selling raffle tickets for the fabulous Yellow Helmet Canvas which was kindly donated by Jeji Images.
 
The raffle draw was made live on Facebook, with the winner being Karen Patterson. A huge thanks to everyone who supported us, not only on the day, but throughout the 2025 season.
 
We were delighted to receive two substantial donations from the Sheridan Family and were humbled by their generosity. Support like this is the lifeblood of our work within the sport.
 
We at the IRWF acknowledge all the support we receive, every pound raised goes towards supporting any rider and their families who have the misfortune to be injured whilst competing on the island of Ireland and beyond.
 
We have paid out over £15,000 in 2025 to date, your continued support is vital to the IRWF.
 
If you would like to learn more of how you can assist the fund, please get in contact with any member of the team.
 
Thanks again to David Carlton and the team for organising a fantastic event, we appreciated the invite to what was an emotional day for the IRWF team, but once again it was great to see the support from the motorcycling family.
