“We were delighted to present a cheque for the funds raised in
2024 on behalf of Aldingbourne Trust, which is based very close to
the Home of Rolls-Royce and does amazing work supporting people with
learning disabilities and autism through social enterprise and
training. We were extremely touched by their ‘thank-you’ gift to us
of a model motor car, made in reclaimed wood by some of the Trust’s
clients. Our House Charity initiative has been running since the
Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood opened in 2003, raising vital funds
for a host of local charities and community organisations. We’re
already hard at work raising money for this year’s House Charity,
Dementia Support at Sage House, and are proud to uphold the long
Rolls-Royce tradition of making a positive impact locally.”

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars presented a cheque for over
£23,000 to Aldingbourne Trust, its House Charity for 2024. The funds
were raised by staff at the Home of Rolls-Royce, through numerous
individual endeavours and team events.

During a visit from the Rolls-Royce Team, clients from the
Trust, which supports 1,500 people with learning disabilities and
autism, enjoyed rides in a Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

Among the Aldingbourne Trust’s wide range of social enterprises,
training opportunities and other activities, clients learn woodworking
skills using reclaimed materials, some donated by Rolls-Royce. As a
thank-you gift for the company’s support, they designed and made a
beautiful model motor car, which will be proudly displayed at the
marque’s Global Headquarters at Goodwood.

The money raised by Rolls-Royce staff will help fund the
charity’s life-changing work, supporting adults with autism, Down
Syndrome and other learning disabilities to lead enriched, fulfilling
lives through education, training and specialist care. The charity
focuses on building strong partnerships with local businesses and
employers to create real opportunities for clients to contribute to
their communities.

Abigail Rowe, Head of Fundraising at Aldingbourne Trust, said:
“We’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with the Rolls-Royce team, and we’re
incredibly grateful for all their hard work and enthusiasm. This
wonderful donation will make a real difference to so many lives.
Together, we’ve shown how meaningful support can create lasting,
positive change, and we’re truly inspired by Rolls-Royce’s commitment
to our cause. On behalf of all those who will benefit from this
generous support, a truly heartfelt thank you.”

The Rolls-Royce House Charity for 2025 is Dementia Support at
Sage House, which brings together a range of vital services for people
living with dementia under one roof at Sage House in Tangmere, West
Sussex, just a few minutes from the Home of Rolls-Royce.
