Nonprofit Organization Management - Croydon, England, United Kingdom
'Keeping hope alive in young people' JAGS Foundation, an acronym of James Andre Godfrey Smartt-Ford, was set up as a not-for-profit Community Interest Company as a lasting tribute to James who was tragically murdered inside Streatham ice rink in 2007. The Foundation now works with leading organisations to deliver its mission: 'To keep hope alive in young people, through providing opportunities to positively engage in their local communities' At the heart of the organisation is the recognition that young people provide critical insights into the social issues faced and delivers training, early intervention and preventative programmes to both statutory and voluntary organisations. Aims: • To facilitate reconciliation between those affected by violent crime and offenders, and the reintegration of both back into communities • To support individuals and families bereaved of a relative or friend as a result of violent crime • To act as a resource for young people, by providing advice, assistance and activities (both physical and educational) to help them advance in life, through education, employment and training • To promote community cohesion through increasing public understanding of the issues surrounding gang cultures and youth violence • To promote equality and diversity for the public benefit, by sharing knowledge with communities to help them understand the challenges faced by others
