After such a fantastic evening on Friday, we eventually had to ask Lee to put his quiz master mic down and get back to the day jobs! 🎤

Speaking of great moments, hear from Cameron, one of the latest to join our growing community of Full Circle Practitioners, as he shares his experience of the Full Circle Programme, delivered by our very own Training Manager.

Wow, what a fantastic evening! Thank you to everyone who came along to support our quiz night, together we raised £700! 🙌

A huge well done to our winners, 'The Village Idiots', who generously donated their winnings straight back to the charity. 🫶

We'd also like to say a massive thank you to our amazing sponsors and supporters:

👉ASC Bar at Aldridge Social for hosting us!
👉 Ignite Fires & Fireplaces (Nantwich) for donating our star prize - a big egg BBQ and grill
👉 Say Yes To Yoga for the yoga vouchers and class passes
👉 Lillie Grace Beautician for the beauty vouchers
👉 Charlotte at Kings Fleet Services for the wine and the rubber ring (which went down a treat!)
👉 Anna Brook for donating a variety of brilliant prizes and for her consistent support!

And last but certainly not least, a huge shoutout to our very own JBF team. Not only do you work tirelessly every day supporting young people across the West Midlands and training professionals, but you also pulled off a cracking evening for everyone to enjoy. Well done, all! 💪

The month of July has been Bereaved Parents Month. 💛

A time to hold space for those carrying one of life's heaviest losses. Losing a child leaves a mark that time doesn't erase - grief doesn't follow a particular schedule or move through neat stages. It shifts, quiets, and resurfaces when you least expect it. What changes isn't the love, or the loss. It's the strength you grow to carry both.

Nine years on, and we still carry you with us every day, James. 💛🕯️

"Thanks for making a difference to our students' lives…"

That's the kind of feedback our workshops and programmes get, and it's why we keep doing this work.

Urban Aid is one of several programmes our team delivers to schools, alternative provisions and youth groups across the West Midlands, giving young people the knowledge, confidence and practical, life-saving skills to look out for themselves and each other.

These sessions also help fund and strengthen the wider work of the James Brindley Foundation.

Doing more. Educating more. Giving back to our community. 💪

Fully funded spaces are available for youth groups during the summer, but they're in high demand, so get in touch now to book your slot.

We're delighted to have collaborated with Peerscroller to create a resource pack giving young people practical, potentially life-saving knowledge around knife crime and personal safety.

Through a series of short, engaging videos, learners will explore the realities behind knife carrying, find out how to contact emergency services in a crisis, discover the purpose of knife bins, and learn how everyday items could help save a life while waiting for professional support.

Designed to spark discussion and build awareness, these resources help young people make informed decisions, challenge misconceptions, and build the confidence to respond appropriately in an emergency.

You can read more about the collaboration and check out the videos over on our blog: https://jamesbrindleyfoundation.co.uk/news/our-most-recent-collaboration-jbf-x-peerscroller/
