Lt John Thornton RM was tragically killed in Afghanistan in 2008. His charity has been setup by his family to help young people achieve above and beyond their wildest dreams, because John himself achieved so much.

JTYAF supports young people by providing them with bursaries and scholarships to support their personal development. These awards are issued to individuals based on their demonstration of the charity's 4 key values: determination, courage, unselfishness and cheerfulness in adversity.
