About JAN Trust
JAN Trust (www.jantrust.org) is a multi award winning not for profit organisation formed in the late 1980′s. We are based in London and cater for women and youth from disadvantaged and marginalised communities. Our work and services are delivered locally, nationally and internationally.
Our aim is to create positive and active citizens of society by educating, empowering and encouraging women and youth. We are dedicated to the cause of combating poverty, discrimination, abuse and social exclusion among Black, Asian, minority ethnic, refugee and asylum seeking (BAMER) women.
JAN Trust is making a real difference in improving the lives of communities; promoting human and women's rights as well as community cohesion.
We provide a range of services and our work has been recognised by a variety of dignitaries.
Check out our website for statements from some of our supporters:
