Jamie’s Farm, founded in 2009, has served nearly 20,000 children across seven farms nationwide, with the Plumpton visit marking its fourth raceday event driven by supporter Brough Scott.

To date, Jamie’s Farm has transformed the lives of more than 18,000 young people, expanding its reach from as far north as Skipton to other sites, including a newborn calf highlighted in Bath signaling ongoing springtime momentum.

The charity’s work centers on therapeutic farming and community programs that help at‑risk youth build confidence and a sense of belonging, with strong community support driving continued growth.

During the visit, the Queen met Plumpton College’s head, a patron of the charity, and awarded prizes to the winners of that day’s third race.

Camilla, as patron, spoke with students, volunteers, and supporters to learn how Jamie’s Farm helps vulnerable youth gain confidence.

For Camilla, returning to Plumpton Racecourse offered a chance to revisit a place tied to her earliest memories.

Plumpton Racecourse’s chief executive described the visit as a meaningful opportunity to showcase Jamie’s Farm’s impact and the value of community collaboration.

Queen Camilla attended Jamie’s Farm Raceday at Plumpton in East Sussex, supporting the charity’s farm-based residential programs.
