Our Journey

Company Foundation and First Centre
Founder and CEO, Jamie Pilling, launched JEP Youth Engagement with a clear purpose: to create a space where every young person feels valued and empowered. By March 2021, that vision became reality with the opening of our first centre at Salford Quays - A small, bright hub designed for one-to-one engagement, building confidence, and to lay the groundwork for every success story to come.
