Charities we support
Black Country Mental Health
An amazing local charity that help to support over 5000 people a year with their mental health. We take part in, and host, a lot of events and fundraisers in aid of this charity as it is something we hold close to our hearts. Having the opportunity to ensure everyone has a fair chance to seek the help they need, mentally and physically, is vital to us.
Alzheimer's Society
Alzheimer’s society is another charity we hold close to our hearts here at JJX. So many people including our loved ones have, or are on track to suffer from Alzheimer’s, and its other forms. We take part in event and fundraisers, as well as donating money as frequently as we can.
Breast Cancer Now - Legacy4Lucy
Legacy4Lucy is a fundraising channel that has been set up through Breast Cancer Now, by Jason Guy, the husband of Lucy who unfortunately passed away in 2015 due to breast cancer. We hold events every year, and donate money in attempts to raise funds and awareness for this cause.
Black Country Food Bank
We hold collection points and fundraising events to raise money and awareness, as well as collecting an array of food items to donate, so that they can distribute it to those locally who need it most.
