Minella Gives Back


Hotel Minella 2024-packages

 

The Nallen family have been giving back to racing for many years and supporting those less fortunate who are also involved in the sport they love.

John is a quiet, behind the scenes operator who likes to deal one-on-one. He has given a lot back to racing that people will never know of nor would he want them to know about, that's the type of man he is.

The Nallen family have always been kind and decent people and understand that the most beautiful of gifts are the ones given from the heart.

When it comes to more public support of the industry, Irish Injured Jockeys (IIJ) has been a vehicle for the Nallen family to support those less fortunate for whom the 'going has got tough'.

Here are just two examples of auction purchases that are on show at Hotel Minella bought by the Nallen Family in aid of injured riders over the years. The proceeds of which went to Irish Injured Jockeys, The Jonjo Bright Trust and the trust of the late great John Thomas McNamara.
