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.

Become our charity partner
The deadline for submitting applications to be considered for the Goodwood Estate Charity of the Year for 2019/2020 has now passed. We will be announcing the chosen charity in January 2019.
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.
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.
If you have a question about Goodwood's charity support, please contact sarah.mayhead@goodwood.com

Festival of Speed 2019
Dallaglio RugbyWorks
Dallaglio RugbyWorks is an intensive, long-term skills development programme based on the values of rugby, through which we aim to get teenagers outside of mainstream education into sustained education, employment or training.
Each year on average 2,200 young people between the ages of 14-16 are excluded from mainstream education in the UK. That’s 12 exclusions every school day. Excluded children are the most vulnerable; twice as likely to be in the care of the state, four times more likely to have grown up in poverty, seven times more likely to have a special educational need and ten times more likely to suffer recognised mental health problems.
Most have no hope of getting out of a system they fell in often through no fault of their own. They will go on to cost the state £763m in extra health, criminal justice, welfare and education costs in their lifetime. 63% of the prison population were excluded from school at some stage in their lives.
Is this right? Some say it’s about giving them a second chance, but with our young people, it’s often their first chance.
At Dallaglio Rugby Works, we want to change this. We get to work right at the heart of the system. We place our coaches in local Alternative Provision, where we work hand in hand with local teaching staff, using the values of rugby to help develop a wide range of essential skills for these permanently excluded teenagers. We provide structure and support, and a pathway to the future.
These are some of the hardest young people to reach, but our programme is working. Over a period of 3 years we work with each young person to get them in to employment or further education and the results have been encouraging.
Currently we operate across the UK in 70 Alternative Provision sites and have over 560 young people on the programme, that’s close to 25% of all permanently excluded 14-16 year olds across the country.
Our results are significant, a young person on our programme is 3 times more likely to pass a Maths & English Level 2 and twice as likely to still be in education, employment or training 12 months after leaving school. Both significant predictors of future employability and ability to support themselves and their families to build a better life.

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 2019
Care for Veterans
Care for Veterans (formerly The Queen Alexandra Hospital Home) was founded in 1919 to provide care and rehabilitation to those returning from the First World War with life-changing disabilities.
Since that time, we have provided long-term nursing care, short-term respite stays, rehabilitation and award-winning end of life care to those who have served our country.
We specialise in caring for veterans with acquired brain injury and degenerative neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis and motor neurone disease, and our ethos is to give our veterans the very best quality of life in spite of their disability.
Our rehabilitation includes physiotherapy, occupational therapy, neuropsychology, speech and language therapy and social and recreational activities, as well as a wheelchair clinic and chaplaincy service, all delivered from our 60-bed facility in Worthing, West Sussex.
We receive no regular government funding and have to raise £1.9 million each year so we are extremely grateful to have been chosen as the charity to benefit from the 2019 Goodwood Revival and to be involved with this wonderful event.

The Chichester Information Shop offers free and confidential information, advice, support and counselling to any young person aged between 13 and 25 years old.
As an independent charity, they are able to work without imposed agendas or external targets, and just concentrate on the needs of young people as they present them. Their trained staff can provide practical advice on matters such as debt, housing issues, benefits and employment as well as offering counselling, emotional support and a sympathetic ear.
The staff team is made up of volunteers and paid workers, all of whom receive relevant training both for working with young people and for their specific roles – rights-based advice work, counselling, information and support. The Information Shop has over sixteen years experience of working with young people in Chichester and the surrounding areas and their service has made a huge difference to the well-being of many young people.
