## **George’s Windmills Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** 

**From  1[st] April 2022                           Period start date To 31[st] March 2023                       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 liver condition/illness by granting wishes and providing special events and experiences to such patients and their families.  We also aim to support hospitals and caregivers by providing equipment, items or treats to patients at, but 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 events and activities that we were able to host throughout our second year as a registered charity. Some highlights included: 

- Hosting a second golf fundraising event. 

- Completing a sponsored “ _tough-mudder_ ” obstacle course for the second year running. 

- Organising and completing a second sponsored ‘Windmill Walk’ step-challenge, this time themed on the “Windmills of Holland”. 

- Generating further donations with a craft-stall at local fetes/fayres, including at family events for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, local school fetes and via a “pop-up” stall on our very own driveway. 

- Hosting a quiz-night fundraiser for the first time. 

- Supporting several volunteers by gaining sponsorship through sports-based challenges/activities such as the completion of half-marathons, the London and Essex Ride100 cycling event and via a fishing competition. 

- Going international and having George’s Windmills advertised on a vehicle taking part in UNIRAID in Portugal, which covered more than 2,000 miles. 

- Local volunteers decorating their house spectacularly for Halloween to raise money for us. 

- Having a local pub once again support George’s Windmills through their successful Christmas Fayre, whilst simultaneously allowing us to raise money through our own Christmas Tombola 

- Raising funds online via a virtual Christmas wish tree. 

In addition, George’s Windmills is extremely thankful to all our volunteers who have spent time and resources encouraging donations to our cause and gaining new support, as well as helping the charity at many of our ongoing events. Without their invaluable help, and their continuous input of time and energy we would not have been able to have another successful year and for that we are forever grateful. 

Going forward, we as trustees want to try and once again repeat many of the more successful events (the golf-day, the craft-stall at fetes/fayres, the quiz night and the Windmill Walk Challenge) whilst being open to trying new things which would increase money raised and garner further and ongoing interest in our cause.

## **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 similarly to last year 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-today 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 delighted, thanks to the ongoing support that we have received, to be able to provide the following to families in line with our charitable objectives: 

- Granted 12 _windmill wishes_ under our “Wish-Upon-A-Windmill Scheme” – these wishes included days out for families at theme parks, supplying desired gaming consoles, overnight/weekend breaks in various counties across the UK and improving children’s spaces within their own home (such as bearing the cost of decorating a child’s bedroom). 

- Made a huge toy donation to a local hospital which included new console games, arts and craft items, toys, DVDs, handmade blankets and other entertainment items aimed at children and babies. 

- Donated 2 brand-new X Boxes to Rays of Sunshine Ward at King’s College Hospital whilst also spending the day chatting to families and providing treats for parents in the form of sandwiches, sweets and cakes. 

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 by April 2022 the almost complete termination of lockdown restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic meant that we could be much more present when making donations to hospitals, such as visiting Rays of Sunshine Ward in person at King’s College Hospital and speaking directly with families at the focus of our cause. As time progresses it would be advantageous to continue to be able to meet with children and their families face-toface so that we can continue to connect with them and build upon our relationship with them. As time goes by and our donations increase as much as our exposure, we hope to further increase the number of donations that we make to our beneficiaries, and that we make per year, in accordance with the funds that we raise.

Once again, 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.
