JADEN FRANCOIS-ESPRIT
COLLECTIVE CIC
WELCOME
We focus on building a supportive community through Education, Empowerment, and Physical Activity and are dedicated to creating inclusive spaces and opportunities that promote mental well-being, resilience, and personal growth. Our initiatives include hands-on workshops, collaborations with mental health advisors, support from suicide and bereavement charities, workplace advisory services, and guidance from neurodiversity champions. We aim to make a positive, lasting impact by connecting people with these vital resources.
Our flagship annual intergenerational community event—now in its fourth year—reflects our commitment to fostering understanding, support, and connection. We believe that the factors influencing mental health and well-being are complex and multifaceted. Through our work, we aim to address these challenges together, helping individuals find hope and support when they need it most.
JFEC CIC
​
JFEC was established as a living legacy to Jaden Francois-Esprit, who we lost in August 2020. In response to this tragedy, JFEC has grown into a community dedicated to promoting mental well-being and inclusivity.
​
Driven by the belief that mental health is impacted by many interconnected factors, we work to highlight how challenges like workplace bullying and discrimination can affect a person's well-being. Through education, support, and empowerment, we are committed to building awareness and creating safe, compassionate spaces for all.
​
The transformative impact of our annual intergenerational event inspired us to formalize our efforts, and we are proud to now serve as a Community Interest Company. Our work continues as we honor Jaden’s memory by fostering understanding, connection, and resilience in our communities.
FUND RAISING EVENT
In 2023, three friends—including Jaden’s mum, Linda—took on the challenge of climbing Mount Snowdon to raise funds for JFEC’s annual community event. Fueled by determination, Linda and her team successfully reached the summit, helping to keep our event affordable for all. Inspired by this success, Linda rallied a group to climb Ben Nevis in 2024 and achieved yet another milestone in support of JFEC’s mission.
​
In 2025, we plan to embark on an international hike designed for those who have experienced loss, offering a chance to connect and heal in nature. Join us, or get involved by hosting a physical activity event—one of JFEC’s key pillars—or collaborating with us to make a lasting impact.
