Second festival in memory of Telford's Georgia Williams
A festival organised in honour of Georgia Williams is set to be held in Telford for a second year.
Ferret Fest raises funds for the Georgia Williams Trust.
Last year's event, organised by the Engage 4 Life group, raised £1,000 for the charity, with the organisers winning the Most Outstanding Team at the Vinspired Regional Awards, and reaching the finals in the national awards.
This year's event will include performances by local musicians and dance acts, as well as food stalls, children's rides and entertainment along with an interactive memorial for Georgia.
The festival is being held on September 13 from 2pm to 7pm at Bowring Park, Wellington.
Georgia Williams Trust chairman Richard Langton said: "We are all delighted that Engage 4 Life will stage Ferret Fest for the second year running.
"This year's event is going to be much bigger and better and we would love to see as many people as possible to join us.
"The fantastic contribution and enthusiasm of the young people involved in putting on this event is very much what we hope to inspire with our free your spirit, join in message."
Engage 4 Life is a project run by the NCS which gives young people the chance to develop skills by running events that will make a difference to the community.
When 17-year-old Georgia was murdered last year by Jamie Reynolds, the team decided to host an festival in her memory.
Known as '"Ferret" for always getting stuck into everything, her friends say Georgia was an inspiration to others because her positive spirit and passion for volunteering.
The festival reflects her spirit by involving as many volunteers as possible and by featuring local young talent.
Georgia's parents, Lynnette and Steve, are backing the event.
Mr Williams said: "We think it promises to be bigger and better than last year. Georgia would have loved to have been involved with this as she has many friends who will be appearing in it or have helped organised it."
The Georgia Williams Trust provides grants to help young people take on life-changing challenges. It is backed by the Shropshire Star.
