Julia + Ann + Mandy = JAM
The Jammie Mission: To make a difference in our local communities, by raising funds, awareness and support for local charities and good causes, encouraging people to work together, with understanding and kindness.
We volunteer our time and energy to help charities and good causes, primarily based here in Northampton. We fundraise for them, help out and raise awareness of the groups through our chats. We run a Jammie Networking session for charities/good causes every 3 months and have a monthly newsletter. It can get a bit crazy sometimes but we love every minute of it! To date we have raised over £41,000 for charities/good causes and could not have done it without so much help and support from local businesses and individuals.
Our monthly newsletter, put together with help from a lovely supporter called Ella, is short and sweet, just tap the link to sign up: Sign up to the newsletter
If you would like to meet up in person call us on 07887 535112 to arrange a time, or email us on jamhelpingout@mail.com. We love to hear what everyone is doing to help our communities, to talk ideas for fundraisers, collaborate on ideas and generally chat about how we can help.
What we’re up to & how YOU can help too
The next Jammie Networking will be on Wednesday December 9th, at Amazon Logistics DNN1. 1pm – 3pm. More details to come, in the mean time, scribble the date in your diary.
We are working with NMPAT on a plan to bring our local community choirs together in April 2027, at NMPAT’s space on the Kettering Road in Northampton – to meet each other, share stories and sing. If you are a small community choir and have not been in contact with us please drop us an email so we can make sure you get all the news as it comes in.
We are supporting Spring Charity Venture and their annual Christmas Grotto/Present Pick Event again this year. Could you set up a donation station for NEW toys, books and games for children aged 0 – 12? Or donate directly yourself to Springs on Spring Lane, NN1 2JW? Contact us if you want to know more, or email Tracey on communityspringcharity@gmail.com
Spencer Contact are running their next Big Sale 19th – 24th October at their base on Gladstone Close – NN5 7AY. We have been helping them prepare items and will be there to help at the sale as usual. If you want to get involved please make contact with Ruth on 01604 587589.
The Lighthouse Centre are asking for raffle prizes for fundraising events linked to Strictly Come Dancing Northampton, please contact the team on 01604 261400 or us if you would like to support.
* If you would like to VOLUNTEER some of your time to a local charity but you are not sure where to start, drop us a message and we will point you in the right direction.
* If you would like to FUNDRAISE for a local group and need some help please just drop us a message.
We are always *COLLECTING & RE-HOMING ITEMS* – Crafty bits & pieces, jam jars, food, clothes and household items that we can deliver to the community groups we know. Any unwanted gifts that can be used for tombolas or raffles is always appreciated too. Drop us a message if you have ANYTHING that you no longer need but that could move on to someone else – to date we have re-homed everything given to us 🙂

It’s not just about raising money for a charity, we want to raise awareness of them too and help in what ever way we can – we’ve ‘mucked in’ on all sorts of projects! Currently we are working with Semilong Community Exchange on fortnightly meet ups at the Spencer Dallington Community Centre and Spencer Contact to help them prepare for their big sale. Most recently we helped Enfold move offices and Sports 4 Fitness at their Disability Fun Day.
We’ve also organised a room that was overflowing with donations for Community Spaces Northampton, made sense of a room at Baby Basics, planted vegetables at The Hope Centre allotment, served & washed up at GTN community lunches, organised Christmas present collections for Spring Charity Venture, run the raffle at IWD events held at Delapre Abbey and Holdenby House, sorted through toy and clothes donations at Spencer Contact and done the signing in at a village dog show. We’re always happy to roll up our sleeves and help get things done, so, if we can help you just drop us a message.

Be a JAMMIE Hero
“Jammie Heroes” wanted 🙂
We can’t do what we do without help from lots of lovely businesses and individuals here in Northamptonshire. Please tap on the photos of our current JAMMIE Heroes to find out more about them 🙂
Local businesses (or not so local we don’t mind) can sponsor our events, donate towards a raffle, spread the word of an event, offer us a venue, or collaborate with us on an idea – big or small, we welcome it all :-). In exchange we will shout out for you on our social media platforms.
To be added to our gallery of Jammie Heroes all we ask is that you are happy for us to make contact with you whenever we start planning a fundraiser or just need some help with something. You can say “Yes’ or “Not this time” 🙂
If you want to chat more about this please get in touch 🙂
