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

**From  1[st] April 2023                           Period start date To 31[st] March 2024                       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 third year as a registered charity. Some highlights included: 

- Hosting our third annual Golf Day. 

- Organising and completing a third sponsored ‘Windmill Walk’ step-challenge. This time we based the challenge on achieving 10,000 steps a day as opposed to reaching a desired distance at the conclusion of the challenge. We had 64 participants which has been the most we’ve had so far whilst running our annual Windmill Walk. 

- Generating further donations with a craft-stall at local fetes/fayres, including attending local school summer fetes and Christmas fayres as well as hosting our stall at a special King’s Coronation event. We were well supported by one of our local Masonic Lodges once again in November at their Christmas Market as well as via their Christmas ball. 

- Hosting a quiz-night fundraiser for the second year which was, once again, fully sold out and a very successful evening. 

- Supporting several volunteers by gaining sponsorship through sports-based challenges/activities such as the completion of a local marathon, a Spartan Trifecta, a triathlon, and a mud run. 

- Decorating our house for Christmas to encourage donations from the local community via a collection box mounted to the outside wall. 

As always, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated volunteers who have selflessly contributed their time and resources to support our cause, from encouraging donations to helping out at our events. Their tireless efforts have been instrumental in our success, and we are deeply grateful for their commitment and dedication, which has allowed us to continue making a positive impact on those that we help. 

As we progress into our fourth year we wish to revisit past successful events whilst also incorporating new ideas to breathe fresh life into our fundraising efforts. As usual, maintaining community engagement and supporting our families will be paramount. Additionally, we intend to explore new formats to help reach a wider audience and increase visibility of our cause.

## **Achievements and Performance** 

George’s Windmills always prioritises the impact of our donations on the lives of sick children and their families. By focusing on improving mental health, life experiences, and overall wellbeing, we're not only helping the children feel more comforted and supported during their hospital stays, but also providing a positive ripple effect for their loved ones. 



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. 

The aforementioned activities have continued to improve the quality of life for ill children and their families, whether they are receiving care in a hospital or not. All of our efforts are directed towards improving the everyday lives of individuals who endure hardship by providing necessities, amusement, and treats, all the while keeping families at the core of our mission. 

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 7 more _windmill wishes_ under our “Wish-Upon-A-Windmill Scheme” – these wishes included days out for families at theme parks, supplying desired computing items such as gaming consoles, overnight/weekend breaks, items to enhance a child’s time spent at home such as a hot tub for the garden and improving children’s spaces within their own home (such as bearing the cost of decorating a child’s bedroom). 

- We made yet another huge 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. 

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.

Again, the trustees see no reason for concern regarding future gifts or fundraising totals. But we have considered the impact of growing living expenses, and we expect that we, in conjunction with our volunteers and supporters, will be able to continue raising money as we have over the duration in question. We are aware that the cost-of-living dilemma is on many people's minds, and we want to address these issues as they come up in the best way we can.
