Peter Jones Foundation 20th Anniversary Ball Marks £20 Million Donated to Support Young People
The Peter Jones Foundation marked its 20th anniversary with a spectacular fundraising ball at Fairmont Windsor Park, raising funds to support its mission of transforming young lives. This brings the total donated to young people over the past 20 years to an incredible £20,191,800.
Held in the heart of the English countryside, the event brought together supporters, partners, and friends for an unforgettable evening. Hosted by the brilliant Stephen Mulhern, the night featured special live performances from Tom Chaplin and Calum Scott and a high-energy auction led by Charlie Ross. Guests celebrated two decades of impact through the Foundation’s enterprise education programmes and its support for charities helping children facing the toughest challenges.
Over the last 20 years, the Foundation has donated more than £20 million to empower thousands of young people through initiatives including the Peter Jones Enterprise Academy, the Tycoon Enterprise Competition, and the National Entrepreneur of the Year competition. Tycoon is the UK’s largest school-based business competition and has equipped students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, with the confidence, skills, and resilience to achieve their ambitions.
Beyond enterprise education, the Foundation is committed to reducing hardship and tackling inequality through partnerships with exceptional charities in the UK and internationally. These collaborations provide essential care and life-changing opportunities for vulnerable young people.
Peter Jones CBE said:
“In 2005, I launched the Peter Jones Foundation built on one simple but profound belief: that everyone, no matter their background, deserves the opportunity to fulfil their potential. Reaching our 20th anniversary is an incredible milestone. Every pound raised represents an opportunity for a young person to build confidence, discover their potential, and shape their future. I’m so grateful to everyone who has supported this journey. Together, we are improving lives and reducing suffering.”
As the Foundation celebrates two decades of impact, it extends heartfelt thanks to all those who share its vision. With continued support, the Foundation looks forward to expanding opportunities and shaping brighter futures for generations to come.
