ANNUAL STATEMENT
The year ending March 2023 has been another very difficult one for Georgia’s Children of the World , again we were unable to run our main fund raiser G-Festival as we were unable to find a suitable venue , however in October 2022 we managed to secure a venue for G- Festival in June 2023.
We did manage a couple of decent fund raisers though including the ‘3peakson2wheels’ challenge which involved 4 cyclists climbing the 3 Peaks and cycling the 500 miles between them in 7 days to raise just over £10k for Georgia’s Children
On July 23[rd] we held a smaller G-Festival at The Waterside in Monton to celebrate the 10[th] Anniversary of our most successful fund raiser, which again raised a little over £10k.
As a result we were able to assist with teachers’ salaries, school supplies, medical supplies and general running costs at Oroong Village school to just about keep the school open, but unfortunately we were once again unable to support the kindergarten feeding program as we did prior to the pandemic.
With a self funded trip to Cambodia in May 2022 we managed to visit our partners to catch up with all projects and a timely intervention that actually saved a young baby brought to ‘Choice School’ very close to death through malnutrition due to lack of money and ill health of he baby’s mother.
The Free School Uniform project with Salford City Council continued but again on a much smaller scale this year due to lack of funding. We also continued to support our partners the Lifecentre in Salford (the home of Georgia’s House 5) with the breakfast club and assistance with their holiday hunger program.
We continued to support Love Light Romania with their work at Georgia’s House 4 , the learning centre in Jacodu Village , which offers early learning and additional support to the Roma community.
We also continued working very closely with family of local girl Heidi- Lou, providing this 9 year old Cerebral Palsy sufferer with regular physiotherapy sessions , an ongoing part of her personal development and mobility skills.
In November 2022 plans got underway for G-Festival 2023 (our first festival in 5 years!) … Early bird tickets were extremely well received and by the end of March 2023 we had secured some excellent sponsors and raised over £10k in advanced tickets sales with almost 1,000 people attended with 10 weeks to go the big day on June 17[th] 2023.
Our assistance to our projects was split roughly 50/50 across local and overseas.
We would like to thank our community and donors for the generous support of
My daughter Georgia’s Legacy… Georgia’s Children of the World
It is our aim to offer support to children around the world irrelevant of race, religion or politics as we strive to be …
“DRIVEN BY LOVE … GUIDED BY ANGELS!”
