George’s Windmills Trustees’ Annual Report for the period
From 1[st] April 2024 Period start date To 31[st] March 2025 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.
This period concludes our fourth year as a registered charity. Many fundraising events were held and some of the key moments over the last financial year included:
-
Hosting our fourth annual Golf Day.
-
Continuing to generate further donations via a craft-stall at local fetes/fayres, including attending local school summer fetes and Christmas fayres. This included our volunteers running their first ever ‘George’s Pumpkin Patch’ in which home-crafted crochet pumpkins proved to be very popular.
-
Hosting our first ‘Race Night’ which was a great success.
-
Supporting several volunteers by gaining sponsorship through sports-based challenges/activities such as the completion of ‘rookies’ a mud run.
-
Being welcomed along as the supported charity to a Junior Music Festival hosted by South East Essex Schools’ Music Association at the Cliffs Pavilion in Southend-on-Sea.
We sincerely thank our devoted volunteers who have generously given their time and resources to advance our mission, whether by encouraging donations or assisting at events. Their unwavering efforts have been vital to our achievements, and we remain truly appreciative of their loyalty and hard work, which make it possible for us to keep creating a positive difference for those we serve.
Entering our fifth year, we aim to reflect on past successful events while introducing fresh ideas to revitalize our fundraising initiatives. As always, fostering community involvement and assisting our families will remain our top priorities. We also plan to experiment with new formats to broaden our reach and enhance awareness of our mission.
Achievements and Performance
The impact that our fundraising efforts has on our beneficiaries is paramount to everything that we do at George’s Windmills. Knowing what some of these families face on a day-to-day basis and how we can be a positive impact is vital to tour mission to help those affected by Childhood Liver Disease.
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.
These activities continue to brighten the lives of children facing illness and their families, whether they are in the hospital or at home. Everything we do is centered on bringing comfort, joy, and essential support to those going through difficult times, always with families at the heart 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 a holiday to Center Parcs, a stay at Alon Towers resorts, supplying computing items such as gaming consoles, a safari experience and even flying lessons for a young, budding pilot.
-
We made yet another huge donation to a London-based family accommodation unit. This included homeware items such as new duvet sets for the whole house, tea-towels, highchairs and even a new hockey table for the children who stay there.
-
George’s Windmills also supplied a brand-new, electric vehicle to Rays of Sunshine Ward at King’s College hospital which can be used by children to ‘drive’ themselves to appointments across the hospital and even to transport themselves to theatre/surgery.
It has been a pleasure to help many more families in the ways listed above.

Again, the trustees see no reason for concern regarding future gifts or fundraising totals. However, we have considered the fact that as we’re only a ‘small’ charity we often feel as though many of our donations come from the same set of supporters. We intend to continue to try to advertise George’s Windmills in as many ways as possible to try and reach new contributors.
A first for us financially during this period was the investment of some of our funds in a high-interest account which we are hopeful will help to boost the charity’s income.
