Donations So Far

The Levski Family Association £800
A wonderful charity quite similar to us, that helps support the families of PFC Levski Sofia supporters.
They are always so welcoming when our team visits Bulgaria, and if you travel to Bulgaria on holiday, you might well see a JP8 flag or two in some of the local bars.
The money we donated has been put to fantastic use straight away, helping the family of a young boy with a rare autoimmune disease.
St Francis Hospice £1,000
Saint Francis Hospice is an independent charity and one of the largest adult hospices in the UK.

Jp8 Sport For Kids
OneTouch YFC £500
This is the first donation as part of our Sport For Kids project.
One Touch was founded in 2022. After working with many clubs offering coaching and playing football themselves, Ashley and Gavin had a vision and ultimately wanted to create an academy that embodied all that they believed an academy should be;
- Quality Coaching,
- A Caring Environment,
- A place that leaves an impact that goes beyond football.
Family is at the centre of everything that One Touch do. Their brand means everything to those who wear it with pride. With yearly Fun Days, BBQ’s, Christmas parties and more, they are constantly trying to build the best community, one that people can be proud to be a part of.
