Fifteen Foundation exists to inspire disadvantaged young people – homeless, unemployed, overcoming drug or alcohol problems - to believe that they can create for themselves great careers in the restaurant industry.

The Fifteen restaurants serve food of the highest quality made from the best ingredients:  their kitchens are where the apprentices learn their trade, and their profits help fund the programme.

Jamie Oliver is the Inspiration founder and trustee of 'Fifteen'.

As a Jamie at Home Consultant I am raising money for the charity in many ways.  I have visited a number of workplaces and collected money that way, I am running a number of fund-raising ideas that enable people to win some of the Jme Collection.  On Thursday I am doing a 'Marathon Drop', which is dropping off a number of Jme items into local businesses and community centres for an hour and with any sales I'll be donating my commission to the charity.   And last but not least I've set up this page. 

The people of Northern Ireland are so un-like many others, our generosity here makes me feel so proud of our communities and the wonderful people that fill them.  Please help me raise the bar of generosity here in Northern Ireland and allow me to reach a target of £500.  That would be amazing!!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
