THREE YEARS OF JE3 DAY

By Media

The Justin Edinburgh 3 Foundation will mark its third annual ‘JE3 Day’ on 18th December, 2021 with support from some of football’s biggest and brightest.

The annual campaign spotlights rates of cardiac arrest—30,000 per year in the UK—and the need for increased public access to life-saving defibrillators and CPR skills.

Football clubs with a special connection to Justin Edinburgh, including Tottenham Hotspur, Leyton Orient, Northampton Town, Newport County, and Southend United are lending their support through dedicated JE3 Day fixtures on and around 18th December.

Supporters from up and down the leagues, and across the country, can get in on the action with three simple ways to support JE3 Day:

1.Donate online to JE3 Foundation. 

2.Sign the petition for Justin’s Law to legally mandate access to Automated External Defibrillators in all health and sports facilities in the UK.

3.Sign-up to our New Year CPR workshop. Enter ‘CPR’ in the message field to reserve your place. Dates & venues to be released in January. 

Since its formation in 2019, an estimated 75,000 people now have access to an Automated External Defibrillator thanks to the Foundation’s AED donation scheme—a milestone which CEO, Charlie Edinburgh, describes as “significant and reassuring, but only the beginning.”

ECHO SIXTY ONE SUPPORTS JE3 FOUNDATION

By Media

The UK-based premier sporting events company has donated £3,000 to the Justin Edinburgh 3 Foundation.

Following the exclusive ‘Evening with Matt Le Tissier’ event, Charlie Edinburgh joined Echo Sixty One for the cheque presentation on behalf of JE3 Foundation.

Speaking of their support, Echo Sixty One said:

“Proud to announce that we have raised another £3000 for JE3 Foundation! So happy that we are able to continue to support this awesome cause. This donation means more defibrillators to be placed, more training to be given, and one step closer to getting Justin’s Law to be a reality. Thank you to all who joined in with the lucky dip and auction.”

London Schools Amongst Latest Recipients of JE3 Donations

By Fundraising

The JE3 Foundation have donated four more Automated External Defibrillators this week.

London schools Hillyfield Academy, South Grove Primary, and Riverley Primary —the latter participants in JE3’s CPR workshop in July — are now equipped with Automated External Defibrillators thanks to the Justin Edinburgh 3 Foundation defibrillator donation scheme.

Joining them as recipients was local organisation Legends Boxing Gym Essex, bringing total donations this week to four.

Charlie Edinburgh, Foundation CEO, visited each venue to make defibrillator presentations and discuss the life-saving work of the JE3 Foundation.

GALA UPDATE

By Media

An update from the Justin Edinburgh 3 Foundation regarding the JE3 Gala 2021.

It is with the deepest regret that we announce the postponement of the JE3 Gala planned for 18th December, 2021.

As we prepared for this year’s gala, we were excited at the response and interest from ticket buyers and sponsors.

However, due to ongoing COVID considerations, the Foundation’s Trustees have decided to postpone the Gala until 2022 as we did not want to jeopardise the safety and happiness of our guests’ Christmas.

We wanted to create the same atmosphere that we did in December 2019, as Justin would have wanted, but felt that this would not be possible under the current conditions.

We will announce a new date for 2022 as soon as possible, and will contact all ticket buyers in the coming days.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating our annual JE3 Day with the football community as planned. Thank you for your continued support.

JE3 Rounds Out Week With Defibrillator Donations

By Donations, Media

Last week, Charlie Edinburgh, CEO of the Justin Edinburgh 3 Foundation, visited two London locations to donate defibrillators.

The first stop was Larkswood Primary Academy in Chingford, London. The Academy supports the welfare and development of 800 pupils aged 2-11. With community partnerships a priority for staff and pupils alike, Larkwood Primary was delighted to receive the donation, funded by Academy Services Waltham Forest, together with Kier Places.

Later that day, Charlie visited Fitzroy Lodge Amateur Boxing Club under the arches in Lambeth Road. Renowned for its welcoming and friendly environment, Fitzroy Lodge ABC is a charity run by volunteers and supported through subscription fees and donations.

The boxing club, established in 1908 and in its current location since 1946, was selected as a recipient through the JE3 defibrillator donation scheme, designed to increase community access to Automated External Defibrillators (AED).

East London Boxing Academy Receives Defibrillator

By Donations, Media

In the latest round of defibrillator donations, JE3 visited East London Boxing Academy.

Committed to developing and improving life skills through boxing, the Academy graciously accepted the donation, explaining that the life-saving piece of equipment would be accessible at the gym, as well as traveling with the team to all official England Boxing events.

Photographed alongside more than 30 boxing gym goers, Charlie Edinburgh added that, “this donation feels special, knowing the difference it will make to this amazing boxing gym, the fighters, and the community.”

Save the Date: JE3 Gala

By Fundraising, Media

The second annual JE3 Gala will take place on 18th December, 2021 at The Willows, Essex.

The black tie gala is an annual celebration of Justin Edinburgh’s birthday with friends, family and special guests from the football industry. Following a successful inaugural gala in 2019, the event was put on hold due to the pandemic in 2020, making this year’s return extra special.

Stay tuned for ticket information and to join us for an evening of dancing, auctions, and celebration.
