The Ned's Fund Goodwood Lecture 2024 presents an Evening with Frank Gardner OBE
On the evening of Thursday 24th October, Goodwood House will once again be home to our 'An evening with' lecture. This year's speaker is none other than Frank Gardner, the BBC’s full time Security Correspondent, covering events across Ukraine, the Middle East, Afghanistan and the UK.
At just £45 per ticket, guests will arrive at Goodwood House at 7pm for drinks and canapés prior to the talk. All proceeds from this event will be donated to Snow Camp, a charity supported by Ned’s Fund.
About Frank Gardner
Frank grew up in Hampshire before studying Arabic and Islamic Studies at Exeter University. In 2004, while reporting for the BBC from Saudi Arabia, he was shot six times at close range in a terrorist attack, leaving him paralysed in the legs. After 14 surgical operations, he returned to work with a wheelchair and was awarded an OBE by Queen Elizabeth. He has been awarded honorary doctorates from seven UK universities and has authored five bestselling books. His latest novel, ‘Invasion’, was published in May. A keen skier and nature photographer, he is President of the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO).
About Goodwood House
Goodwood is the seat of the Dukes of Richmond, whose family art collection is one of the greatest in any English country house. The State Apartments can be visited before and after Frank Gardner’s talk.
About Snow Camp
Ned’s Fund is delighted to be supporting Snow Camp at this year’s lecture. Frank Gardner is an Ambassador for Snow Camp, a youth charity Ned's Fund has been proud to support since 2019. Snow Camp is a life-changing snow sports programme for young people in need, taking them from beginners to trained snow sports instructors in just one year, and with volunteering and apprenticeship progression routes available at the end. Alongside learning to ski or snowboard, young people also have access to life skills training and mental health support. Ned's Fund has already funded seven young people who have been able to complete their Snow Camp journey and apprenticeships as a result.
Frank Gardner is an Ambassador for Snow Camp. He said:
"Snow Camp is fantastic and I'm so honoured to be a part of it. Snow Camp goes into places and meets young people, who have got talent but need to find a way to use it. Snow Camp gives them that opportunity and, in many cases, saves them from bad situations in terms of life choices, and discovers the talent that wouldn't otherwise be discovered." - Frank Gardner, BBC Security Correspondent
