Congratulations to all our dedicated ‘pullers,’ who spent their August Bank Holiday Monday bravely pulling a Boeing 737, weighing in at 35,000 Kg, over a challenging distance of 50 metres at the Dorset Plane Pull event.

The 40 for JT Challenge has inspired some truly innovative fundraising activities centered around the number 40, and Swim Bournemouth came up with the brilliant idea to organise a raffle featuring 40 fantastic prize

Councillor Terry Cordery, a committed and enthusiastic supporter of the JTYAF, proudly chose John’s Foundation as his designated charity throughout his term as Mayor.

We would like to thank Hannah at Dorset Fit for all the time and effort she put into organising the Walk-a-thon at King George V Playing Fields.

What an incredible day at Ferndown Middle School! To support the JTYAF, the entire school community came together for a Fun Run

West Moors Middle School students recently supported the 40 for JT Challenge with a ‘Colour Rush’ Fun Run. We were absolutely delighted to receive a cheque for an incredible £1830.54!  What a fantastic fundraising achievement. We can’t thank the students enough for their support.

Huge thanks to Paul and Alam for the 8th JTYAF Curry Night at the Cinnamon. These curry nights are a big favourite with our supporters and this one was another resounding success

The 40 for JT Challenge has inspired some incredible activities, and Paul, a former British and European Powerlifting Champion, certainly rose to the occasion. As the head of the Purbeck Powerlifting Club, Paul and his team of dedicated powerlifters took on the ambitious challenge of bench pressing 40 tonnes in just 30 minutes.

The JTYAF Vintage Afternoon Tea was a truly fantastic community effort and a hugely successful event raising almost £2,500 for John’s Foundation

Councillor Terry Cordery, the Mayor of Ferndown, cycled 40 kilometers for John’s Foundation on his 87th birthday!

We are thrilled to share the incredible success of the Quiz Night organised by Terry Cordery, the Mayor of Ferndown, in support of John’s Foundation. Terry, a great friend of the JTYAF, chose our foundation for his mayoral year, and we couldn't be more grateful.

Our 40 for JT Challenge has kicked off with remarkable enthusiasm.

We are immensely grateful to Councillor Toni Coombs, a great friend of the JTYAF, for selecting John's Foundation as the beneficiary charity for the fabulous Twelfth Night Celebration at Crane Valley Golf Club.

We had an absolutely wonderful evening, and we couldn't have done it without the help and support of so many incredible people and businesses!

Terry is a great friend of the JTYAF, and we were honoured to be chosen as his Mayoral Charity for 2024/25.  He is always ready to help at our events and is planning a fundraising event of his own too. Working together we can make a real difference to young people’s lives.
