Here you will find all JOY updates as they happen keeping you up to date with all we do along our way through "Jordies Journey".
Welcome to the Jordie On You breaking news page where we will keep you full posted throughout the journey of joy. As things progress with the charity we will post all information here so that you know at all times the behind the scenes actions within JOY.
Its great to get excited about the progression of Jordie On You and we want to share every moment with the people that make it all happen, we want you to share the excitement of our progression and very much want each and every donator / sponsor / fundraiser and event organiser to share our journey - "Jordie's Journey".
The purposes for our organisation are as follows:
'For the public benefit to relieve the need of children in England who are suffering from bereavement of a family member of suffers from mental health issues themselves or have a sibling who suffers from mental health issues in particular but not extensively by referring them to support through the provision of a holiday home/respite break'
Enzo will be joining the joy team in February 2021 and will start histraining as a therapy dog.
Enzo will be on hand at events to offer a hug to all children, just as soon as he has completed all of his training and gained his certification, until then we will ensure has all the love he needs so that he knows how to share it the best with those that need it the most.
With the charity events taking off a storm and raffle prizes coming in fast and furious including companies that are wanting to support JOY by sending us cases of items to sell we found ourselves in extreme need of storage space. A fantastic local Cambridge landlord has got in touch and offered the entire use of his garage at one of his properties which is amazing as we can now up our game yet another notch and take a large step towards our goal of purchasing and sustaining a holiday home for children suffering bereavement and living with mental health conditions. What a fantastic gesture and another sign of amazing local community spirit.
Hot of the press today:

When Kayley and Joe heard that Wilburton Albion U7's were looking for a new kit and sponsor they jumped at the chance. Sponsoring the kit out of their own money and choosing to have the JOY logo instead of a sponsorship means that they have made kids smile and also are helping to raise awareness of our charity! A really lovely gesture this!!
Thank you Kayley and Joe and best of luck Wilburton Albion Under 7's
When Chelsey Carter was asked what charity she wanted to represent she swiftly proposed JOY, all agreed and the NCS young adults set about their business.
This group of young adults took to the street to raise awareness of JOY, Mental Health and Kids Suffering Bereavement and not only did they raise awareness they raised over £200 for the charity by doing a cake bake sale!
We hope to work with NCS young adults again in the future as they really are great!!
Mason Carter age 12 decided he wanted to do something for Jordie On You!
Mason decided he would grow some vegetables in his green house but soon found he had way too many for his own families personal use so Mason decided to set up a stall outside of his home to raise money for JOY, most kids would have wanted to save for a playstation etc but not Mason, What a kid!!
A stall became available on the Dudley Park Family day and Mason jumped at the opportunity and not only raised money JOY but also got meet the Mayor of Cambridge.
A great day was had by all and Mason raised some good money for the charity and was soon joined by others wanting to make a difference, Its lovely and humbling to see Kids making a difference - After all the future belongs to them.

All of us at JOY would like to say a really big thank you to Steve at Moo Creative for creating our logo's for us.
When we 1st started JOY we reached out for a graphic designer to create something special for our logo and literally within minutes Steve had replied, with background information he managed to create a logo that kept Jordie's name alive and also gave us something that could relate to children, something colourful yet meaningful and with the JOY logo in place everything else soonfollowed, Moo Creative never took a single penny from us and that sparked the every penny stays within the charity campaign because from Steve we quickly learned that there are great people in the world that are willing to help these Kids Suffering Bereavement and are willing to help us share Mental Health Awareness. - Thank you Steve & Moo Creative.
