Please note that NOT all money raised is here in JustGiving: The Grand Total of all JAMATHON2024 monies (as of 30th July) is £6,035.27 :-)

Thankyou sooo much for coming on to our JG page, whether its to sign up to one of our events or make a general donation because you're amazing, it's just great to see you and to have you as a part of this 3 month of fundraisers.

This is the third year of our JAMathon, an idea we came up with over brunch one morning that evolved from one fundraiser, to many! The 'marathon of fundraisers' runs over 3 months, raises for 3 charities and we team up with individuals and businesses to come up with all sorts of fundraising ideas – large and small. If you want to get involved drop us a message, we'd love to hear your ideas.

The fundraisers start on 1st May and finish on 1st August. Last year JAMathon2023 raised £4,500 (we ran SOS fashion shows, hosted a Pub Night & Kitchen Suppers, ran tombolas, collaborated on floristry workshops ...), this year we want to better that and get to at least £5,000! The final total we raise will be split equally between the 3 charities.

Let us introduce you to the 3 good causes, here in Northampton, that the JAMATHON2024 is raising for this year:

⭐️COMMUNITY SPACES NORTHAMPTON (charity) - Happy, friendly community centres across deprived areas of Northampton that are busy providing activities and services to create a sense of connection and belonging within neighbourhoods. They run food banks and community cafes, offer volunteering placements and cost of living advice. The money we raise for CSN will be spent on opening up another much needed hub in their Vernon Terrace space, buying the tables, chairs, kitchen equipment, plates & cutlery, stationery and so on. Please head here for more information: https://communityspacesnn.org

⭐️PROJECT 16:15 (charity) - A small but mighty not-for-profit rough sleeper charity here in Northampton. A street army of unpaid volunteers supporting the street community - “Project 16:15 is built upon the foundation that every member of our community, regardless of situation & circumstance, has the right to feel valued.” The money we raise for Project 16:15 will be going towards the refurbishment and fitting out of an old police van that is being transformed into a Mobile Outreach & Community Bus.

⭐️NORTHAMPTON SENDS 4 DAD (community organisation) - A community group supporting Dads/male carers that have a child with special educational needs and/or a disability. Providing social opportunities for Dads/male carers to get together with people in similar circumstances, making sure members have access to social media avenues to discuss issues/celebrate successes and looking at events for the family or for Dads/male carers to bond with their children in an environment where there are other Dads. The money raised for Sends 4 Dad will be spent on a day trip to the seaside for Dads and their children, plus holistic activities that run weekly at the Frank Bruno Foundation for Dad & Child groups, a SENDS mum group and a new group for neurodiverse adults.
