JADEN FRANCOIS-ESPRIT
COLLECTIVE CIC
JFEC CIC bring difficult topics out of the dark by talking about workplace discrimination, neurodiversity and suicide prevention because we lost J to those and want to prevent losing others.
Our mission is to deliver a series of events including our annual family community event, and workshops following or three essential pillars: education & empowement, and community engagement.

American flag football
The inclusion of American flag football began here, in year one, as we celebrated Jaden's life on the anniversary of his 22nd birthday in August.
​
American flag football has become a staple at our events. Its energentic, fun, and a non-contact sport so is accessible to all ages.

JFEC
JFEC aka 'Jaden Francois-Esprit Committee' was founded in August. The brief was, to campaign and ensure JADEN was at the forefront of the London fire brigades cultural review. Jaden was named as the catalyst for the review. This has since sparked a review of the fire brigade service nationwide.

Campaign
Jaden worked hard to get through the rigorous recruitment process and was proud to be accepted into a role he thought would lead to him being a worthy member of society. He wanted to help people and be a role model. He was not prepared for the trauma that faced him.
