News stories from the JTYAF about award winners, fundraising activities, sponsorship, events and general good news about what the JTYAF has been doing.
The JTYAF is pleased to support a young man to help him to develop and progress his love of fishing.
He was inspired to take up fishing by a foster carer but lacked the basic equipment to continue. Fishing helps him to relax and talk about his problems as well as enjoying the peace and quiet.
He now belongs to a fishing club and is being encouraged to assist in teaching the younger students to improve his life skills.
The JTYAF supports young people from a wide range of youth organisations providing them with scholarships and bursaries to support their personal development and the pursuit of their ambitions.
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.
