Join us on Friday 25th at 6pm to celebrate the beginning of JCJ’s 10th year anniversary. We have brought in some exciting guest speakers!

It is a very exciting time for JCJ because it was 10 years ago that our founders Kanchana and Jim met and conceived the organisation!
To celebrate this anniversary, we have organised a very special line-up for our AGM that reflects the past, present and future of JCJ.
