The John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation (JTYAF) was set up in 2008 in memory of Lieutenant John Thornton, from Ferndown, who was tragically killed in Afghanistan while serving with 40 Commando Royal Marines. His Foundation encourages and supports young people from 18 local youth organisations. Award applications are endorsed by the organisation, who know the young people well and award winners receive scholarships and bursaries to fund their training and personal development.
The aim of the Foundation is to inspire and support young people to ‘climb as high as they can dream’ by providing access to opportunities that they wouldn’t otherwise have had. John achieved so much in his short life and therefore supporting local young people to achieve their ambitions and potential became a fitting legacy of which he would be immensely proud.
In addition to providing funding for education and training courses, equipment and tuition, young people have realised their ambitions in countries as diverse as, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Nepal, China, and Borneo.

A young carer is a child, just like any other. The only difference is that young carers are responsible for the care of at least one member of their family, though they may be as young as 5 years old themselves. These children work incredibly hard to take care of their loved ones, yet they represent a largely forgotten community, and often face enormous disadvantage as a result.
MYTIME Young Carers aims to provide support for young carers wherever there is a need. We understand that caring responsibilities can have far-reaching impact on a child’s life, and we know that no two young carers’ needs are the same.
Our Memory-Making and R&R Retreat Programmes. Through these programmes we provide fun and enriching activity days, weekend retreats and an online youth group for young carers. These events allow young carers to take much-needed breaks from their caring responsibilities and, most importantly of all, to meet other young carers. The young carers we work with tell us that their caring roles can often cause them to feel lonely, but the truth is that young carers belong to an enormous community - they just don’t always realise it. Our Memory-Making and R&R Retreat programmes aim to create vital opportunities for young carers to build support networks and form friendships that can last a lifetime.
£150 pays for one Young Carer to attend a weekend retreat
£250 pays for 10 Young Carers to attend a Memory Making Day
