Meet the Team
Jonathan Williams [Director]
Having trained at Exeter University I have spent most of my life leading a Physical Education & Outdoor Education Faculty in the UK state system. What began as an annual foreign “Charity Trip” for sixth form students, expanded to become “G4G Social Enterprise” catering for numerous local groups. It is great to see both students and adults expand their world view by engaging with inspirational leaders who are tackling poverty and general social disadvantages. The development projects effect positive change and enhance community life. In 2022 we have moved from Farm start-up initiatives to launch a Tourism Company with “G4G Adventure”. Please sign up for one of our trips and make a difference!
James MacGregor: Group Leader
I recently married Samantha and live in Winsley with our young daughter Ruby. My two grown-up children Freddie and Esme live with us for part of the week. Having worked for many years in the Automative industry in design, development and production, I missed being more hands on and in 2006 re-trained as a plumber. I first got involved with G4G in 1997 and since then due to Jon’s infectious enthusiasm have been on many more trips. As a Christian I have valued the opportunity to help others less fortunate than myself and the work enables me to utilise my plumbing and engineering skills.
Penny Williams: Assistant Director
I am married to Jon and have been fully involved for 8 years although have had a supporting role since 1990. I have had the privilege to lead student groups in the Kindergarten and After School club in the Reghin area and work in Sacele with people with Additional needs. More recently I have partnered Jon in setting up and promoting the Adventure Company. I have been so moved and impressed by the sacrificial life styles of our partner charity leaders in Romania and am fully committed to supporting the work they are doing. I have also seen how students and adults have a life changing experience when they volunteer on a project.
Joseph Fulop: Trip Leader & Guide
Born in Brașov, in Transylvania, I grew up surrounded by spectacular mountains & breathtaking scenery—an environment that shaped my love for nature, exploration & the stories hidden in every trail & old street. From an early age I have had a desire to share this with others which led me to earn my tour guide qualification. I am excited to introduce guests to the rich history, warm culture, and remarkable landscapes of this unique land.
Alongside guiding, I am the Operations Manager of Hope Without Limits, the charity that benefits from these trips enabling those with disabilities https://www.hopewithoutlimitsromania.org
