About the JAC charity

Just Around the Corner is a registered charity working with the young people of Woodley and surrounding areas. We are an outreach youth and community organisation working in the parks and streets, but also work with schools and existing youth clubs.
 
JAC is a recognised and valued organisation who over the last few years has gained the trust and support of the young people, helping them to make positive choices in their lives by providing appropriate education and information on issues relevant to them. Each session has on average a team of six volunteers, some of whom are young people who want to reach out to their peers. We receive support and funding from the local churches, Woodley Town Council, Earley Town Council, Wokingham District Council and other Trusts. We have detached teams that cover Woodley, Lower Earley, Shinfield and Wokingham.
 
JAC wants to see each young person given the opportunity to make something of their life, JAC volunteers are willing to put time and effort into getting alongside young people supporting them in making positive choices about their lifestyle and future. We are a non profit making Charity and the young people have free use of the facility. We need to raise all our own funds to provide the best possible facility to show the young people they are valued. But we need the support of our community. Please consider how you might help either financially or practically - contact us for more details.
