Georgia Leigh Ogden, also known as Gee or Oggy by her family and friends was involved in a fatal car crash in Astbury, Cheshire. Georgia was the rear seat passenger, wearing a seatbelt in the car when the driver of the car; young & inexperienced pulled out into the path of an oncoming HGV on 25th June 2020 (Georgia’s Dad’s 50th Birthday). Due to the seriousness of Georgia’s head injuries her life support was switched off & sadly she passed away, age just 17 years old on 26th June 2020 at the Royal Stoke Hospital. Gee was a truly amazing and loving daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin and friend meaning that her loss has created a huge void that can never be filled. Gee’s beautiful, unique and sassy spirit touched every person she ever met; she had so much love to give and always managed to capture a room, whether it was through her dancing, singing, acting, dramatic flare or sharp wit. The world has been a more sombre place without her shine and she is missed beyond measure each and everyday. The Georgia Leigh Ogden Foundation was set up by Gee’s family in her memory and aims to help local charities in the Cheshire & Staffordshire areas, particularly charities for children & young people. It also aims to help charities who provide support services for people bereaved and injured in road crashes. The primary goal of the foundation is to help better the lives of those who are in need, which is something Gee would most definitely approve of. We hope that something positive can come out of this absolutely tragic and heartbreaking situation. To achieve our aim of helping others we will both be raising money via fundraising events and public donations and also raising awareness of various issues via our page.

The charity’s purpose: to advance such charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the trustees see fit from time to time, in particular but not exclusively by providing information, raising awareness and making grants for individuals living anywhere in the district of Cheshire and Staffordshire.
