We are
privileged to have some amazing charities working with us to help create the
Living Advent Calendar. While they are each collecting for their charities on a
nightly basis they are also volunteering their time to assist with the set up
and delivery of many nights of performance. Expect to see many JAC jackets
during the first week and occasionally throughout the 24 days putting up sound
systems and lights and making sure our performances go with a bang!
We hope you
will give generously, bucket collectors will be out each evening for you to
make any donations. The bucket collectors are collecting for all four Charities
(WADE, JAC, More Arts and Wokingham Rotary) at the end of the 24 days the final
total will be split evenly between the Charities.
Just Around the Corner is a registered charity working with
the young people of Woodley, Wokingham and surrounding areas. We are an
outreach youth and community organisation working in the parks and streets, but
also work with schools and existing youth clubs.
JAC is a recognised and valued organisation which, over
the years, has gained the trust and support of the young people, helping
them to make positive choices in their lives by providing appropriate education
and information on issues relevant to them. Each session has on average a team
of six volunteers, some of whom are young people who want to reach out to their
peers.
We receive support and funding
from the local churches, Woodley Town Council, Earley Town Council, Wokingham
District Council and other Trusts. We have detached teams that cover Woodley,
Wokingham, Earley, Crowthorne, Winnersh, Newtown and Whitley.
JAC wants to see each young person given the opportunity to
make something of their life. JAC volunteers are willing to put time and
effort into getting alongside young people supporting them in making positive
choices about their lifestyle and future. We are a non profit making Charity
and the young people have free use of the facility. We need to raise all our
own funds to provide the best possible facility to show the young people they
are valued. But we need the support of our community.
