About Us
Welcome to The St. George’s Foundation website.
The Foundation’s primary activities are devoted to preserving the unique history and heritage of the Historic Town of St. George and its Related Fortifications, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Through restoration and enhancements projects and a variety of educational initiatives, The St. George’s Foundation is ensuring that the unique and fascinating history of St. George’s, Bermuda, will be brought to life for residents and visitors alike.
The Foundation’s work is largely coordinated through the efforts of volunteers, including a distinguished Board of Trustees, an Honorary Council, an Advisory Committee, and a Capital Campaign Board responsible for fundraising and implementation of the capital improvement projects identified within The St. George’s Town Heritage Plan.
The website redesign and educational projects ‘A Day in the Life’ and ‘WHS Digital Field Trip’ were made possible by Advocates for Bermuda’s Children (ABC).
ABC grew out of the National committee established for the International Year of the Child (1979).
The objectives established for Advocates for Bermuda’s Children (ABC) included:
- To continue to promote recognition of the fact that programmes for children should be an integral part of economic and social development plans, with a view to achieving, in both the long and short-term, sustained activities for the benefit of children at the national level
- To continue to work toward the development of a cultural centre for Bermuda
Though ABC has remained dormant since the early 80s The St. George’s Foundation is pleased to fulfill their objectives and goals.
