Motorsport UK is here to support everyone who powers our sport – competitors, officials, volunteers, clubs and organisers alike. We recognise that, at times, you may experience something distressing in your role, be navigating personal challenges, or be the subject of a concern raised with us.

If you’re feeling worried, overwhelmed, or simply need someone to talk to, there are many helplines and websites offering practical advice and emotional support. You can also reach out directly to our Safeguarding Team on 01753 765000 or safeguarding@motorsportuk.org. We’ll listen, and your contact will be handled with sensitivity and confidentiality.
