Welcomes You

Lieutenant John 'JT' Thornton Royal Marine from
Ferndown, Dorset was tragically killed aged 22 in Southern
Afghanistan on 30th March 2008.

John lived his dream and died doing the job he loved.

John touched the lives of many people and now his legacy
lives on making a real difference to the lives of young people.

Since August 2008 over £100,000 has been awarded providing opportunities to over 200 youngsters to make a genuine difference to not only their own lives, but also to those of other individuals and to the wider community. This charity has been founded with the simple objective that John wanted as his legacy: to encourage and assist young people to
