Our thanks go to Paul Spackman and to Ian Ashbridge for this boost to our successful 2011 recruitment drive when 45 people applied.

An Appeal

The funding gap grows ever wider between the cost of our unique JET courses and the Trust's investment income, but so far we have managed to put on courses at no cost to the new Award Holders. We would like to maintain this tradition, but to do so we do need more funds.

Quite a number of JET Alumni have already responded and are making regular donations. Katherine Parker has nobly taken on the task of contacting other previous JET scholars to ask them to make a contribution by way of a gift aid covenant.

  • Thank you if you have already made a contribution; please encourage others to do the same.  

  • If you want a gift aid form, please click here 

  • If you are an ex-scholar and have not been approached, please don’t feel left out. You haven't been forgotten!

A modest individual contribution from everyone whose career has been enhanced by the JET experience would enable the Trust to continue to foster future rural leaders.

If you can help in any way, please contact either Katherine or John Read.
