Charity & Fund raising at
Manchester Greyhound Stadium

Manchester Greyhound Stadium is one of the most popular north west venues for fund-raising and Charity events, with national Charities, local charitable organisations and good causes all having organised successful events and raised significant amounts of money.

 
You can stage your event either in our Grandstand Restaurant, privately in either our Manchester or Granada Executive Suites or a combination of both.

Charities and Fund-raising organisations can look forward to receiving special rates for most of our packages.

Over the years here at Belle Vue and at our other GRA tracks around the country we have worked with a combination of local and national charities including The Woodland Trust, The Variety Club, Guide Dogs For the Blind and various cancer charity groups and of course our own Retired Greyhound Trust.

There are several ways in which you can raise funds during a night at the dogs here are a few fund-raising ideas below to help you maximise your funds.

Special Events

We are more than happy to help you stage your own special event during your fund-raising evening for example human races around the stadium track are a favourite with some of our fund-raisers.

Presentation Race Sponsorship

Groups, individuals or businesses are invited to sponsor a presentation race for a minimum donation eg £100 per race. (We charge the Charity only £30 to cover trophy and other costs) that’s £70 profit per race for the charity, Usually there are 12 to 13 races during the evening funds raised £840 to £910.

Greyhound Nomination

On average 78 greyhounds race during the evening. Invite guests to nominate a greyhound at say £10.00 (£780.00 raised). You will need to provide a sponsored prize for each race. The nominator of the winning greyhound in each race wins the prize.

Race Programme Advertising

Sell advertising space to sponsors. The charity or fund-raisers pay between £40 to £100.

Charity Collection and Raffles

We are delighted to allow stadium-wide Charity collections or maybe hold a raffle for sponsored prizes selling tickets to anyone in the stadium, our commentator will assist on the night publicising the event.

Auction

Organise an auction with sponsored prizes (only available in Executive Suites).

Working together it is possible to raise as much as £5000 per night
