Twin Your Cot with one at 1000 Hills Baby Room

There's been a baby boom in the valley of 1000 Hills and demand for places in the 1000 HCH baby room has never been higher. Providing a safe place for these babies means that their Mum's can resume their education or working life knowing that their little ones will be safe for the day. To help with the operational costs we're launching a Twin a Cot scheme linking cots at nurseries in the UK with a cot in KwaZulu Natal - can you help? Read more

In Loving Memory of Guinevere Ventress

Thank you for visiting the page in Loving Memory of Guinevere Ventress. Born in KwaZulu Natal in March 1925, she lived much of her life in that province of South Africa. This formed the basis of the connection with GAGA UK, which supports grassroots projects working in the Valley of 1000 Hills near Kloof where Guinevere lived for many years.

Leave a legacy

Leave a lasting legacy that will continue to change lives and strengthen communities for generations to come. "We can change the world and make it a better place. It is in your hands to make a difference" Nelson Mandela

Stitching the Global Community Together

Our Remembering Tree project has been featured in the Church Times in an article about yarnbombing and it's growing significance in urban landscapes and fundraising. 2022 sees the 10th year of GAGA UK Yarnbombing in Stratford upon Avon so we couldn't be happier to receive publicity like this!
