Trustee’s Annual Report
For the period 28[th] June 2021 through to 31[st] March 2022
George’s Windmills Trustees’ Annual Report for the period
From 28[th] June 2021 Period start date To 31[st] March 2022 Period end date
Charity name: George’s Windmills
Charity registration number: 1194981
Objectives and Activities
George’s Windmills aims to help in the relief of sickness and the promotion and protection of good health among children aged between 0-16 years undergoing treatment for an ongoing, long-term medical condition/illness by granting wishes and providing special events and experiences to such people who are patients at, but are not limited to; Basildon & Thurrock Hospitals, Basildon, Essex; King's College Hospital, Camberwell, London and Ronald McDonald House Charities.
We are extremely pleased with the amount of activities we could host in our first year, especially considering the consequences of the recent pandemic. We were pleased to be able to do the following:
-
Held a golf fundraising event
-
Completed a sponsored tough-mudder obstacle course
-
Held a Christmas tombola
-
Organised a sponsored ‘Windmill Walk’ step-challenge
-
Generated donations with a craft stall at local fetes/fayres
-
Gained donations through the decoration of the outside of our house for Christmas
-
Held our annual main fundraiser which entailed a disco, food, and a raffle
-
Supported several volunteers by gaining sponsorship through sports-based challenges/activities
In addition, George’s Windmills is extremely grateful for the many hours volunteers have spent encouraging donations and supporters to our cause, as well as helping the charity at many fundraising events. Without their priceless contribution of time and energy we would not have been able to achieve so much in our first year.
Going forward, we as trustees intend to repeat much of the above activities, such as the continuing presence of our craft stall at local fetes and fayres, hosting our step-challenge every year on our charity’s birthday and recruiting people to take part in our annual tough-mudder event. We intend to have one very large fundraiser each year and ensure that George’s Windmills capitalises on events within the local community at Christmas time.

Achievements and Performance
When scheduling our activities for the year we ensured that we kept in mind how the funds raised would help to enhance the lives of sick children in hospitals and how our wish scheme would benefit the children themselves, and their family members, by improving their mental-health, life-experiences and general wellbeing.
Our main donation activities were as follows:
-
Providing our “Wish Upon A Windmill scheme” (whereby we provide one-off acts of joy to children with liver disease, pre or post-transplant);
-
Donation of toys, items or goods to help make a child’s time spent in hospital that little bit easier
-
Donation of items or goods to family accommodation units, connected to hospitals, to help parents and family members cope easier when staying at such establishments
All of the above listed activities have benefitted sick children, and their family members, by improving their day-to-day lives either spent in hospital, or out of hospital. Every effort is focused on enhancing the lives of those who suffer on a daily basis through treats, entertainment and the supplying of much-needed things, whilst keeping families at the centre of our cause.
We have been pleased, thanks to all our supporters, to be able to provide the following in accordance with our main objectives:
-
Fulfilled a special wish for a child with liver disease
-
Made two huge toy donations to a local hospital
-
Made two donations to a parents’ hospital accommodation house
We have been happy to have helped many families in different ways in accordance with our main purposes and look forward to continuing to do so in future years.
Thankfully, the loosening of lockdown restrictions by June 2021, when our charity was officially registered, meant that we were able to perform all such duties that we set out to. Though, donations to hospital wards were difficult in that we were not allowed to enter children’s wards to hand out our donations face-to-face, speak with children and their family members and further advertise our charity. As time progresses it would be an honour to be able to meet with children and their families in the hospital setting so that we could connect with them on a better level, increase their awareness of George’s Windmills and develop, what we hope to be, better relationships with our beneficiaries.
One such way we have been able to connect with those we wish to help is through social media and any such online activity. Our social media pages continue to grow by the day and we hope that through our continuous posts, in which we keep our followers up to date with every event we host or each donation we make, we can continue to reach people who may wish to help our cause or reach those who may require our help. In addition, our presence on the internet has meant exposure to many bigger companies who have been gracious in their involvement with our charity and such involvement has generated receipt of much bigger donations which has helped to further increase our funds.

The trustees do not foresee any uncertainties with regards to any future fundraising amounts or donations. However, we have considered the impact of the rising cost of living and hope that we, along with our supporters and volunteers, will be able to continue to raise funds as we have done for the period concerned. We understand that the cost-of-living-crisis is at the forefront of many people’s minds, and we intend to tackle such challenges in the best way that we can, as they arise.
