Proud to be Goodwood’s Charity of the Year
The Aldingbourne Trust said it is proud to have been name Goodwood’s Charity of the Year for the next two years.
“This summer, we’ve had the incredible opportunity to be part of Goodwood’s much-loved Breakfast Club events—a series that attracts thousands of car enthusiasts and families each year to the world-famous Motor Circuitm” a spokesperson said.
For the first time in its 19-year history, Breakfast Club has been used as a platform to raise vital funds. While entry has remained free, Goodwood encouraged donations of £50 per vehicle owner and £10 per guest, generating over £42,000 this year in support of Aldingbourne Trust.
Based just five miles from Goodwood, the Aldingbourne Trust supports adults with learning disabilities and autism through supported living, job training, and social enterprises. Its work empowers people to build confidence, achieve independence, and contribute to their communities.
Highlights include the Aldingbourne Country Centre, a family-friendly destination offering hands-on activities, gardens, animals, and accessible facilities. It’s a welcoming space for all, and a showcase of the opportunities provided.
“The partnership with Goodwood has not only raised vital funds but also involved the very people we support—who have joined the events, enjoyed the atmosphere, and even volunteered alongside our dedicated team,” the trust said.
“We are truly grateful to Goodwood, the wider community, and our volunteers for making this partnership such a success. Together, we are not just celebrating great cars—we’re driving real change and creating life-changing opportunities for the people we support.”
