News stories from the JTYAF about award winners, fundraising activities, sponsorship, events and general good news about what the JTYAF has been doing.
A young student with an ambition to become a fashion designer has been supported to take those first important steps towards a career. An award from the JTYAF has helped her to purchase her first sewing machine and materials so that she can develop her skills creating designs and bringing those designs to fruition.
We wish her every success for the future and look forward to seeing some of her creations.
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.
