Our Stories
"My mentor Mark is awesome, we get to go on adventures and learn about nature, I have got more confident and am now back in school."
"The team are a wonderful resource. The enthusiasm they have towards young people is infectious. Our students can’t wait for their sessions and love coming back to show us what new skills they have worked out. We are so thankful of the work they do and bespoke support they offer our students."
"This amazing foundation has contributed so much to us as a family and we hope others benefit from the amazing work they do."
"I can see a future for myself now; I can see myself doing well in my exams and getting a good job– the JHF has saved my life."
"The JHF has been an absolute lifeline for us over a number of years and we will be forever grateful for the support and guidance they have provided. The JHF team have enabled JA to have structure and routine outside of mainstream education, ensuring an even mix of academic work & life skills are covered daily."
"Mentoring is one of the most positive things in K’s life and something he enjoys and looks forward to doing."
"Craig has boosted my sons confidence in so many ways and has given him the opportunity to regain trust in another adult while teaching him some cool stuff and giving some amazing opportunities. He was so proud of his own courgette from the allotment!"
"I have been immensely impressed with how the mentors have responded to the Covid-19 situation and continued their work. Pupils have responded well to this and given them continued interaction as well as someone else to engage with during a socially distanced time."
"JHF have been a godsend for some of our more complex young people... Thank you for all your hard work."
