JAEP has been successful in securing £15,000 (£5000 per year for three year) funding from QPSW. We received the first £5000 in May 2017 and second £5000 in May 2018. We're thrilled, this level of funding enables us to fund more young people from Dheisheh to study for an undergraduate degree at Al Quds University.

Our project has featured in the most recent Quaker News, see page 11!

Were pleased to report the following.

The 2018 pilgrimage group lead by Bishop Graham went to Dheisheh on the Feast of Candlemas, 2 February. (The 2017 pilgrimage group also visited Dheisheh) 

£137,701 has been raised upto the end of February 2018. Huge thanks to all our many supporters!

JAEP are delighted to report that following SKYPE interviews we have awarded financal support to four girls from Dheisheh to study for an undergraduate degree at Al Quds University in East Jerusalem.

Bishop Graham our patron spoke about the project during the service. Followed by supper in the refectory and presentations in The Weston Room. Beginning with a film about the background to and impact of The Balfour Declaration on 2 November 1917.

We are thrilled to announce that on 28 November 2016 JAEP became an independent charity. Our charity number is 1170414. We will of course still be able to claim gift aid on all applicable donations.

We are very appreciatiative of all the help and support we have received from YMCA Norfolk since JAEP began in January 2007. We have held a bank account within YMCA Norfolk since we began, this has enabled us to claim over £15,000 in gift aid since 2007

The sale of Christmas cards in 2016 raised over £800. Huge thanks to all our supporters who bought cards. We sold over 4440 cards, all of which really helps to raise the profile of JAEP.

£800 almost funds one young person to attend Al Quds University for one year

It is very pleasing to report that JAEP has financially supported twenty two young people to gain an undergraduate degree. Also pleasing to report is that over £106,000 has been donated from individuals and organisations. More information can be found under the projects tab
