The Goodwood Estate Charity
Canine Partners
Canine Partners is a national charity training assistance dogs for adults living with disabilities. 2021 will be the second year of a two-year partnership with Goodwood. In 2019, the Estate raised over £23,000 for the charity, funding the breeding and training lifetime partnership of assistance dog, Gordon. We hope to do the same again this year!
The Duke of Richmond says, “Our aim is to help transform the lives of as many people as possible by supporting the breeding and training of these remarkable assistance dogs. Our staff are motivated and enthusiastic, both in their fundraising efforts and in their commitment to volunteering, and we are delighted to be supporting such a worthwhile local charity.”
In addition to various internal fund-raising efforts, Goodwood aims to raise money for the cause with events open to all its members, as well as to the public.
“We are delighted that the Goodwood Estate has chosen us as their Charity of the Year for 2019 and 2020. We are very excited about this fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of Canine Partners and generate vital funds to enable us to continue our life-transforming work. Our partnership with Goodwood will ensure that we are able to train even more amazing dogs to help adults living with physical disabilities.” said Jackie Staunton, Chair of Trustees for Canine Partners.
Nicola Hopkins, assisted by canine partner Flora added; "Goodwood picking Canine Partners as their Charity of the Year will be fundamental in helping to transform lives like mine. Being partnered with an assistance dog like Flora changes your life in ways that you don’t ever expect or imagine. Flora has been key to me regaining my independence; not just opening doors for me literally but also metaphorically, by giving me the confidence to live my life to the full.”

St Paul's Church Parish Centre Project
St Paul's is a Chichester city centre church, whose Parish Centre offers a valuable community space used by clubs, support groups and activity sessions, as well as providing care for children, refugees and the homeless.
Fundraising would allow vital improvements to both the fabric of the Centre, and to the range and quality of services offered to the community.
The Duke and Duchess of Richmond say "St Paul’s has a fantastic record of community outreach and has been a life-line for so many people in Chichester. This project will hugely enhance the excellent work they do, and deserves all possible support."

Smart Works
Smart Works provides high quality interview clothes and interview training to unemployed women in need. Giving a woman practical tools and the power of confidence means she's at her best at a crucial moment, to succeed at interview and transform her life.
Women are referred to Smart Works from organisations such as job centres, work programmes, prisons, care homes, homeless shelters and mental health charities.
Smart Works patron, The Duchess of Sussex, explained “the reason I was drawn to Smart Works is that it reframes the idea of charity as community. It’s a network of women supporting and empowering other women in their professional pursuits.”

Greenpower Education Trust
Greenpower Education Trust is a local charity which gets young people enthusiastic about science and engineering by challenging them to design, build and race an electric car.
They supply age-appropriate Kit Cars, which can be built in school, college or elsewhere and raced at motorsport venues at Greenpower organised events. Alternatively, older participants can design and build their own car to our regulations. The Greenpower challenge uses the excitement of motorsport to inspire young people to excel in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM).
They work with over 700 teams throughout the UK and hold 35+ regional events and an International Final every year. More than 10,000 students take part each year, from primary school age through to university. A growing number of international teams participate in Greenpower events and the USA, China, India, Singapore, Malaysia and Poland run programmes under the Greenpower license.

As a small Charity helping local young people free of charge, we were genuinely delighted to collaborate so closely with the brilliant Goodwood team, and to have experienced the generosity of spirit that was clearly evident on every level at the Classic Car Breakfast Club event. Thank you so much for supporting our Project so that we can further support the increasing number of 13-25 year olds in need.
