Charities spring up for many reasons all over the world. Sometimes they have a specific cause, sometimes they are to help those who suffer from an illness, sometimes they are aimed at restoring a building or supporting a club.
We believe The Georgia Williams Trust is just a little different. We are a charity dedicated to providing a lasting long term legacy to an exceptional young lady. With the money raised, we will celebrate Georgia’s life by enabling young people in her community to access adventure, outdoor activities and volunteering.
We were set up in early June 2013 at the specific request of Georgia’s family.
The Trust
The Georgia Williams Trust is made up of representatives from several local organisations including: New College Telford, Ercall Wood Technology College, West Mercia Police, 1130 Wrekin Squadron Air Training Corps, AFC Telford United, Telford & Wrekin Council and Wellington Town Council as well as representatives of the family and friends: Scarlett Williams, Georgia's sister and Georgia’s close friend Steve Millington.
“The aim of the Trust is to create a legacy through which she will always be remembered, and to provide opportunities to young people who may have been inspired by her. The trustees will then work closely with Georgia’s family on how the money should be spent to celebrate her life and create a lasting long term legacy.”
Trust Chairman, Inspector Richard Langton, West Mercia Police
"This is very much what we as a family want to see happen. The work that has been done by everyone in raising money to create a legacy and celebrate Georgia's life has been phenomenal and we have been deeply touched by it.” Steve Williams, Georgia’s father
