Who are Promise Dreams?

Promise Dreams is a registered charity set up in 2001 to make dreams come true for seriously ill and terminally ill children and their families. Our aim is to help as many children as we can.

We are based in Wolverhampton and help children throughout the UK. So far we have raised over £3.3m and almost 2000 very special children have had their dreams realised.

As a very small charity, with just 2 members of staff, we are able to keep our overheads very low which means more money goes towards helping the children. We also pride ourselves on working quickly and efficiently as well as having close connections with our supporters and the families we are helping.

What Promise Dreams do.

Every child has dreams. When time is limited, or situations are tough, those dreams have even more value associated with them. For the past 22 years we have been making those dreams a reality for children and their families the length and breadth of the country. Thanks to our supporters and fundraisers we’ve been able to send hundreds of children and their families to the most magical places in the world. We’ve been able to bring together poorly children and their heroes. And we’ve been able to supply specialist equipment which makes families lives just that little bit easier.

Every child who has a dream delivered by Promise Dreams has a serious, life-limiting or terminal condition or illness. And it’s the least we can do to make sure they have the most wonderful memories with their families.

We continue to be very busy with numerous applications for help coming in every week and we have seen this number increase year on year. Not all dream requests are for holidays or special treats – many are for essential items to help the family and child such as a specialised wheelchair, specialist bath or household items. We are also still receiving many requests for memory making experiences for children who are not expected to be with us for much longer.

We are receiving a high number of applications through referrals from Young Lives vs Cancer – the UK’s leading charity providing support to families dealing with cancer. Many of these requests have to be dealt with via our Fast Track process which involves working very quickly as the prognosis of the child is normally only weeks.

Happy New Year and Welcome to HKRC to First Round Of our Club Championship for 2024

AWARDS EVENING 2023 SEASON

It is almost time for our super spangly, all singing, all dancing awards evening where we get to celebrate the achievements of our top drivers and top club volunteers. Last year saw over ….. people eat, drink and celebrate at the splendid Marriott Hotel Huntingdon and this year is only going to be bigger and better.

Ours And Your Club

Hunts Kart Racing Club, a kart club that has been entirely run by dedicated volunteers for over six decades, with our 65th Anniversary celebration set for 2024. Our club is a testament to the passion and commitment of individuals who aim to keep the world of grassroots motorsport alive and thriving.

As we approach our Anniversary, we are determined to continue our legacy and promote the next generation of racing stars. Pervious club champions have gone onto amazing success, Ash Sutton, four-time British Touring Car Champion and 7 time Formula One World Champion Sir Lewis Hamilton both raced at HKRC.
Due to noise restrictions only allowing one race meeting a month it is a constant challenge to keep our club operating. This wouldn’t be possible without many volunteers donating their time and energy on both race day and within their spare time.

Promote Your Product Or Service

Are you looking for an affordable marketing or promotional opportunity to push a brand, product, experience or a special offer? Especially with those searching for Christmas ideas? As a club we have a large and diverse members list, an even larger following within digital socials and of course track side attendees, to which corporate outfits can benefit from.

Within our awards evening proceedings, both live and silent auctions will be orchestrated. Online digital bidding and promotion will be conducted prior to the event and can be fashioned to desired requests where applicable. Projected video will be broadcast throughout the awards evening, as well as on the clubs socials, with recognition paid to our kind donators.

What Would Donations Mean?

The funds raised through the auction will play a pivotal role in further improving our club and ensuring its operation for many years to come. Your generous donation will help us continue to provide opportunities for young, aspiring racers and maintain our position at the heart of the motorsport community. You will also of course be helping make a memorable night for young and slightly older, to be part of and be remembered by.

Opportunities & Options

Would you be in a position to donate an auction prize, experience or a discounted option, to ensure kart drivers from the age 8 up to the Jurassic pilots continuing to make history and enjoying HKRC?

If so, please contact jamie@hkrc.co.uk to discuss individual needs for all matters and to join our growing family of club supporters. Sponsor HKRC – Hunts Kart Racing Club – MSUK affiliated kart circuit in Cambridgeshire, Est 1959, 12 meetings a year, 12 corners, 898 metres, 10,000+ through the gates, A few grumpy Marshalls, HKRC

The HKRC team are delighted to announce that Easy & Elegant Weddings are back on board for 2024!

Well done guys, thank you!

– Scales will be closed during the practice session on Sunday morning to allow extra time for racing. If you wish to weigh you can do so before practice commences. 
– At all times whilst on site please follow the instructions given by HRKC or Motorsport UK officials.
– Engines can be started in the Assembly Area without excessive revving. We would prefer if you started engines on the dummy grid once kart is on the ground to help the club keep the neighbours happy. Or unless you have permission from the Chief Scrutineer to do otherwise.
– Please be respectful to our neighbours in the surrounding villages. Please keep to the speed limit.
– Dogs must be kept securely within your awning space and must not be walked in the fields surrounding the track or in the paddock area.
– Please make sure that you are aware of the clubs supplementary regulations at all times.
– Due to certain events that happened at our October meeting the Circuit is until further notice out of bounds on the Friday set up day and after practice finishes on the Saturday. Track walks are only permitted Saturday and Sunday morning prior to practice and racing.
– As from November rubbish bins will be situated in the cages around the main paddock these will be the only point where rubbish from the weekend can be left, we will have someone going around with bin bags for you which can be left outside your awning during the day or placed in the collection point. If you are missed, please call in at Race Control and ask for one. Please do not leave tyres at the circuit.
– Beware of the land drains around Willows they have been there for a while now markers are in place.
– Anyone doing an ARKS test on Saturday, please check your email for instructions.

We hope you all have an enjoyable weekend with us at HKRC.
