Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hi! I’m Jasmine and I receive support from 1625 Independent People. They are a great organisation and have helped me a lot. Now I would love to give back.

They help young people like me gain independence, explore new opportunities, and achieve their goals. I have had so many experiences with them that I wouldn’t have had otherwise, including cooking skills, art club, graffiti workshops, gardening, woodcarving, and visiting art exhibitions. Learning new skills and meeting new people has been helpful for my mental health, getting me out of the house and connecting with people.

I have learned more about how to handle day-to-day challenges through the DNA-V model –it has helped me gain more perspective, learn how to manage anxiety and overthinking, and learn that every day is different.

They helped me to get on track with an access course so that I can go to university. I have found what I want to do. With their support, I was able to learn about loads of options for myself that I didn’t know about, as well as how to pursue them!

For the last six months, I have been training to run this race as a way to get out of the house and support my mental health. Any donations would be very appreciated and will go on to support the amazing work of 1625 Independent People!
