GAGA UK Impact Report 2021/22

Partnership has been key to our survival in 2021/22.  The continuing impact of Coronavirus worldwide, combined with civil unrest in Kwa Zulu Natal. The war in Ukraine and challenging economic conditions in the UK and South Africa. All these have contributed to a perfect storm of reducing income and increasing need.

As a small charity we are privileged to have strong relationships with our major donors and our regular donors alike.  Citadel Risk and Sangobeg Investments have remained steadfast in their support of our mission in 2021/22. and we greatly appreciate their confidence in us.  Our generous private donors form the foundation of our income, allowing us to continue our commitment to the projects working within the community, thank you all of you. The third strand of our income is fundraising, and that has been challenging. The wonderful support given by the Talk Business UK network has boosted funds and provided expertise. Member businesses ensured that our Remembering Tree fundraiser was a great success in the winter of 2021/22.  We also benefitted from support from Rotary and other businesses like Broad Lane Leisure  and Vsnary.  The latter providing hundreds of items of surplus stocks of sportswear and the former donating branded workwear; both of which arrived in South Africa at the end of April. We continue to look at innovative and effective ways to lessen the impact of inequality and poverty in southern Africa. Thank you all for your support!

  • Twin Your Cot with one at 1000 Hills Baby Room

    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?

    Stratford upon Avon URC invites GAGA UK to be their charity of 2022

    Absolutely delighted to announce that GAGA UK has been selected to be the Stratford upon Avon United Reformed Church's charity for 2022. Each year the church selects a local charity, alternating between national and international causes, to be the recipient of some of the fundraising activities of the congregation. We're really pleased to be chosen and look forward to lots of engagement with the URC during the year.
