We’re so proud of the work we do at JBT, but the reality is that none of this would be possible without your support 🙏

By setting up a monthly donation with us, you’d be helping us fund vital creative arts education for young people who may not be able to access it otherwise. The creative arts are vital for young people’s wellbeing, mental health and confidence to name just a few benefits.

We want to continue to foster opportunities for as many young people as possible, so if you’re able, please consider pledging to us on a monthly basis 💙 it doesn’t matter how small, every little bit helps!

You can set up a monthly donation on the “Support Us” tab on our website, linked below and in our bio.

We also have a blog post, talking a bit more about how vital your support is, and why monthly donations matter 🤝

💙 JBT Live ‘26 💙

It’s already been a week since JBT Live, and what a day it was! We couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who came along to support the event, it means the world to us 🫶💙

We’re especially grateful to all of the artists we came and performed their material! Each and every one of them was fantastic, and we’re so lucky as a charity that we can provide a platform for such amazing local talent 👏 thank you to telephone line, Emily-Mae, J0151, VIDEOTON and Ciaran Delaney 💙

We are always striving to grow and expand our reach to more young people, and we feel like we’ve smashed that out of the park so far in 2026! We hope you’ll keep following us and supporting us and allowing us to put on more incredible events like this 🙌💙

Massive thank you to Lock & Quay for hosting our event this year! 💙

All of the trustees at JBT want to send a HUGE thank you to the Volunteer Canteen Golf Society for raising a whopping £600 for us! 👏💙

We’re overwhelmed by the support we receive, particularly from organisations like the Volunteer Canteen Golf Society, and we wouldn’t be where we are without it. These kinds of donations mean we can reach more people, spread our work further and ultimately help as many young people as possible.

THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this incredible donation 🫶💙

Our fundraising and revenue team have been hard at work over the past few weeks, putting their heads together to come up with some fresh fundraising ideas 🤔💭

And with the London Marathon fast approachig, Collins has a pretty bold idea… is it possible to train for a marathon when you’ve never ran one before? 🤯

We’re sending Collins all of our luck on his epic training journey, and you can support him too! He has set up a JustGiving page (linked below) so you can donate to his cause - JBT! With those vital funds, we can reach more young people and create more positive experiences in the creative arts 💙

We’ve also transformed our fundraising Instagram into a page dedicated to Collins’ journey - follow along on ! 👟💙

Good luck, Collins! 🍀💙
