Our Mission
Our mission is to ensure that greyhounds receive the highest standard of care throughout their lives, from birth to retirement. This is set out in our long-term welfare strategy, ‘A Good Life for Every Greyhound’. To continue to deliver this ambitious strategy and further optimise greyhound welfare, we require sustained funding from the bookmaking companies who profit from our sport.
This increased, reliable funding would enable us to deliver key welfare programmes to ensure that every canine athlete has a good career followed by a long and happy retirement as a pet.

By supporting and sharing our campaign, you can play a crucial role in making sure racing greyhounds receive the care they deserve.

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.
