The Goodwood Estate Charity
Winston's Wish
Our official Estate charity for 2017/2018 is Winston's Wish, a national charity providing support to bereaved children and young people.
As the first charity to establish child bereavement support services in the UK, Winston's Wish lead the way in providing specialist child bereavement support services across the UK, including in-depth therapeutic help in individual, group and residential settings.
The death of a parent or sibling is one of the most devastating losses a child or young person will ever face. How a child grieves is vital to his or her immediate and long-term well-being, and with the right support at the right time, those children can go on to lead full and flourishing lives. This is where Winston's Wish steps in to help.

The deadline for submitting applications to be considered for the Goodwood Estate Charity of the Year has now passed. We will be contacting the applicants by Friday 12th October to let them know if they have been shortlisted.
Goodwood in the community
Goodwood supports its local community in a number of ways. In addition to the donation of tickets to hundreds of schools, charitable organisations and local fundraising events each year, it also works closely with a number of charities which have a close affiliation with the Estate and its businesses.
Apply to become the next Estate Charity Partner
If you are interested in applying to become Goodwood’s Charity of the Year for 2019/2020, the information below will help you work out if you are eligible and, if so, how and when to register your charity.
What we look for in a charity partnership
Whilst Goodwood attracts visitors from all over the world, it is our local community that is most important to us. We therefore like to support charities that are based, or operate in West Sussex.
We like working with both small and large charities. The key is that there is a committed person from the charity who can work with us to get the most from the partnership and raise as much money as possible. Do you have a member of your team who can tell the on-going story of your charity in a way that will get our 700+ staff engaged and motivated? Before applying do consider whether you have the staff and marketing resources to be able to support the events and staff activities at Goodwood.
Whilst fundraising is a key way we support our Estate Charity of the Year, we also value volunteering opportunities for our staff. Applications from charities who can offer volunteering will be prioritised.
Goodwood is renowned for its creativity and innovation. We like to extend this to how we work with partners. If your charity has any unusual and fun ideas of how to raise funds this will be warmly received.

Festival of Speed
The Jim Clark Trust
The Jim Clark Trust is dedicated to promoting the life and legacy of two-time F1 World Champion and Indianapolis 500 winner Jim Clark.
All funds raised will help to build a new Jim Clark Museum in his home town of Duns in the Scottish Borders with a focus on heritage, education and inspiration. The existing Jim Clark Room opened in 1969 and has welcomed over 350,000 visitors from around the world. Plans for the future include an expanded museum celebrating his extraordinary life with trophies, imagery, art, film footage, new memorabilia, a technology and education zone and race simulator. The highlight of the new museum will be the chance to exhibit some of the incredible cars in which he raced.
Jim Clark is widely regarded as one of the greatest and naturally gifted racing drivers of all time. He remains much loved and admired to this day for both his remarkable achievements and character, famous for his modesty, humility and sportsmanship.
Jimmy (as he was affectionately known) dominated world motor racing like no one before or since due to his success in all types of motor racing. He is best remembered for his partnership with Colin Chapman and Lotus, winning 25 Grand Prix with 33 Pole Positions from 72 starts.
His tragic death at Hockenheim at the age of 32 in 1968 stunned the motorsport world and the tragic circumstances of the crash helped to redefine the future of Formula One with a greater emphasis on safety. The mission to make motorsport safer was led by Jim's close friend and the Trust’s Honorary President, Sir Jackie Stewart.
Jim Clark was a shy farmer at heart with an incredible talent who became an international sporting hero and inspired a generation. His story transcends time and sport.

Cancer Research UK
Cancer Research UK has been at the heart of progress towards beating cancer in the UK. Their vision is to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.
Cancer Research UK are continuing to tackle women’s cancers on all fronts – from improving the prevention of breast and cervical cancers, to overcoming treatment resistance in ovarian cancer.
Thanks to research, breast cancer mortality rates have fallen by 10% in five years, due to a better understanding of the genetics of the disease, together with new drugs and pioneering surgical techniques. With the help of generous supporters, right now researchers are investigating why breast cancers can become resistant to hormone therapies, studying the psychology of why some women don’t participate in cervical screening, and finding new treatments for ovarian cancer.

Goodwood Revival
Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund
The RAF Benevolent Fund offers practical and financial support to veterans, serving personnel and their families.
As the Royal Air Force celebrates its centenary in 2018, the Goodwood Revival provides a perfect opportunity to celebrate, commemorate and inspire, in what will be a seminal year for the entire RAF family.
Founded a year after the Royal Air Force, the RAF Benevolent Fund has always been there for any member of the RAF family in their time of need - from the youngest child to the oldest veteran, serving or former members of the RAF, and their dependants too.
Last year the Fund spent over £17 million supporting 65,000 members of the RAF family, providing services ranging from regular financial assistance, retraining grants and care home top-up fees, to welfare breaks and relationship counselling.
Support is also given to those living in more than 30 countries across the world. Locally, the Fund is delighted to assist beneficiaries at Princess Marina House, in Rustington, West Sussex by providing respite and care breaks for members of the RAF family.
Support from the Goodwood Revival 2018 will allow the RAF Benevolent Fund to continue supporting thousands of individuals.
