History of Just Helping
Just Helping was founded in 2012 by Nick Stammers, our Chair of Trustees. A successful technology entrepreneur, Nick regularly volunteers his time to aid charities and projects including the Tony Robbins Foundation. Inspired by the coming together of local communities on fundraising projects, Nick felt compelled to use his expertise to create opportunities for more people to come together and benefit from fundraising events.

As the media, technology, globalisation, and pace of life distract us, there is a massive shift of focus away from our communities. We stop seeing what is in front of our eyes and fail to recognise that it is our neighbours and people close to us that also need support. Our society is in need of a sense of community, a world where people care about each other, not just their own personal achievements. Just Helping’s key aim is to re-engage communities into contributing and supporting their local and wider community.
