The Foundation
The Foundation has been a long-held goal of mine for many years, and I am glad to finally get it off the ground.
I would like to thank the London Wasps rugby team. Wasps have been a very enthusiastic supporter of Forgotten Children, and this was capped when Will Green chose the charity as one of the beneficiaries of his benefit year."
The Peter Jones Foundation aims to provide effective support to children in the many different stages and circumstances of their lives. Whether it be supporting children in the UK who, for whatever reason, have been unable to gain support from the excising network of government services available in the UK, or through other charitable organisations; or about nurturing and providing a life enhancing experience, enabling young people to have the start in life that they deserve. We firmly believe that everyone deserves a brighter future.
Thanks
For their very special help in the initial days of the venture, I want to thank my business contacts and friends as well as the employees who work within the businesses that I either own or invest in. It's been great to see people within my company rally to volunteer to support the Foundation, and this has been a great boost as we set a very challenging target of fundraising in our first few years.
I would also like to thank all of the Enterprise Organisations in the UK who have been instrumental in helping me to realise my dream of launching a National Enterprise Academy to educate young people in the UK, and encourage a confident &lsqou;can do’ attitude amongst them.
I have been incredibly flattered when individuals outside of my immediate circle choose to support the work we are doing, in particular those who give up their time and money to help the children we support. I would like to make special mention of London Wasps rugby team, in particular the club's former prop Will Green. Wasps have been a very enthusiastic supporter of Forgotten Children, and this was capped when Will chose the charity as one of the beneficiaries of his benefit year in 2005.
I intend to continue the work we have started and do what I can to make the lives and futures of children in the UK a little bit brighter.
Thank You
