The JD foundation and global empowerment of communities

At JD, we feel passionately about supporting the urban youth of today and giving back to those who need it most, both in our local communities and in the international territories in which we operate. Our main vehicle for doing this in the UK is the JD Foundation which aims to assist charities working with disadvantaged young people. To find out more about the JD Foundation, please read its most recent Social Impact Report.
