TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT Tax Year 1[st] September 2022 to 31[st] August 2023 for THE PRINCE GEORGE GALITZINE MEMORIAL FUND Registered charity No 1015036 Registered Address: 51 Castle Street, Cirencester GL7 1QD The Prince George Galitzine Memorial Fund (TPGGMF) has been registered as a charity since 1992, following the death of George Galitzine in London, at the time, the intention was to help people in Russia, faced with the challenges and understanding of their new ‘democracy’. In 1994, the Fund raised money for The Prince George Galitzine Memorial Library - a library of books about Russia that had been published abroad during the years of the Soviet Union. This was a very successful and popular project, that existed for 25 years, funded by the UK charity with money raised from events, usually held in UK. In December 2019, the Library was handed over to the city of St Petersburg, to be run by the State Mayakovsky Library, who have created a new department within their established library to house The Galitzine Library Collection, and its collection of _“Rossica”_ . The charitable fund has not attempted any fundraising for Russia since 2019, due to world events. The PGGMF was given the authority to distribute a legacy left in Trust to help families of children in Russia suffering from Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy. In December 2022, this was concluded with a final donation to the Children’s Hospice, Paper Bird in St Petersburg. The registration of the Russian side of the charity was finally liquidated in March 2022. Therefore the Trustees have decided to use remaining funds to make a long term investment and wait for the appropriate project in the future. The Trustees are investigating awarding an educational grant, but in order to do so, the Fund would need to create an endowment fund with a guarantee of an annual income to cover such an intention. Money from TPGGMF was spent this year on digitising 25 years of paperwork and creating a database. The Trustees held 4 meetings, 3 of which were held on Zoom and one in person. A successful claim for a Tax Rebate was made. And dividends were paid from the invested funds. Other than the above, the PGGMF remains quietly waiting for the next project and the accounts of 2022-23 show this accordingly.
