Peter Jones Foundation – Educate. Encourage. Empower.

About the Foundation

“I set up the Peter Jones Foundation because I believe that with the right mix of support and opportunity, every young person has the potential to achieve great things and the right to a brighter future. To achieve this we deliver world-class enterprise education through our Foundation for Enterprise, and support some of the most disadvantaged young people to improve their lives through our Foundation for Children.” Peter Jones CBE

We have been running Peter Jones Enterprise Academies within our partner FE providers since 2007, and have had more than 3500 graduates across the UK and continue to invite FE providers to partner with us. From 2018 onwards, schools can now apply to host one of the first wave of school-based Peter Jones Enterprise Academies.

Theses school-based Academies will act as hubs of outstanding enterprise provision, with students receiving pioneering support to start businesses and achieve globally recognised qualifications in business, enterprise and entrepreneurship. They will also receive funding to enable their students to start their own business while at school.
