Our Work

The JTYAF now supports 18 organisations based in Dorset and Wiltshire.  Some of the organisations supported by the JTYAF do not have an application process as their award winners are nominated by their staff.

Applications are reviewed throughout the year and awards decisions are mainly made by the group the young person belongs to. There are no strict deadlines, which allows appilicants to seek support as needs arise.

About Us

The John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation (JTYAF) was set up in memory of John Thornton who was tragically killed in Afghanistan in 2008. 

The JTYAF provides opportunities for young people to help them to develop as individuals and fulfil their ambitions in life as John was able to do.
