At Goodwood we work with some exceptional charities, raising money and awareness for good causes both at our flagship sporting events and throughout the year.
The Aldingbourne Trust supports people with learning disabilities and/or autism across Sussex and East Hampshire to reach their potential.
They provide real skills, care and jobs in a very 21st century way, using strong partnerships between social enterprise and charity fundraising to give adults with learning disabilities real choices and more independent lives.
The Trust helps people with disabilities to become full and active citizens. Using innovative methods of support and development, the charity helps its clients to live more independent and fulfilled lives and, where appropriate, to gain employment. They operate more than a dozen social enterprises as part of their forward-thinking approach to providing opportunities alongside residential care services, supported living and outreach services for people in their local communities.
Two Wheels for Life raises money to help doctors, nurses and other health professionals across Africa to ALWAYS reach communities, no matter how poor or remote.
By working with partner programmes throughout Lesotho, Malawi, Nigeria and The Gambia, they are able to provide health workers with vehicles and the rider training, fuel, and regular vehicle maintenance that ensures they are always ready to go and reliable. Motorcycles are often used because they are uniquely suited to the job and environment, and allow medical professionals to reach people whenever and wherever they are needed with care, supplies and education
Twelve inspirational women race down Goodwood Racecourse's home straight in a flash of vibrant colour with their beautiful, bespoke silks. The 2025 Magnolia Cup charity is Project Lehar, a King's Trust International initiative that aims to empower adolescent girls through vocational training and skills development, and promotes equality in their communities. The project takes a holistic approach, delivering complementary learning modules which enable girls to enhance their earning power, build self-confidence, and plan for the future.
Project Lehar operates in the Indian states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, both of which see many girls dropping out of school due to several social and gender related challenges.
It’s estimated that only 39 million women are employed in India’s workforce compared to 361 million men. Worldwide, women do three times as much unpaid household work as men, limiting their time and space to build new skills, which reinforces biased gender norms present in their communities.
Project Lehar works to break this cycle, enabling young women and girls to find new paths to prosperity, in turn making a meaningful impact in their communities and showing that women have just as much potential as men.
St Wilfrid's Hospice offers care to local people in parts of West Sussex and Hampshire who have life limiting illnesses or who are in the last phase of their lives. They tailor their care to what each patient needs, and aim to deliver excellent care, every time.
St Wilfrid’s Hospice offers a wide range of services, providing physical, emotional, social, psychological and spiritual support ensuring that they respect and encourage individuality, dignity and self-esteem. They work in close partnership with all health and social care professionals involved in a person’s care, including GPs and community nurses.
The Duke of Richmond established The Goodwood Education Trust in 1976 to provide more young people with access to the natural world. Goodwood offers schools and colleges an exciting range of workshops and visits to inspire learning outside the classroom.
