Jacobs Unique Memory Pot is a registered charity providing memory packages for sick and disabled children and their families.

Our Mission Statement:- “Capturing Unique Memories for Special Children and Their Families”

Our challenge began in 2004 to form a Charity in memory of a remarkable little boy Jacob Hawthorn.

Jacob was born with Muscular Dystrophy, a muscle wasting disease that severely affects movement and mobility.

Jacobs family worked very hard to remove barriers that got in the way of Jacob living as normal a life as possible and his Mummy took him on lots of lovely trips so that he could experience lots of different things.

His favourite place was Disneyland Paris where lots of his Disney pals live.

Jacob passed away on the 13th February 2004 and his family found it very hard as he was such a brave and pleasant little boy, who rarely complained, although he had a lot of illness to cope with. His family had a wonderful collection of pictures and short films of his adventures and found them a real priceless treasure to cherish his memory.

During the few days after Jacob passed away his little Nanna thought what a wonderful tribute it would be to Jacob, to set up a Charity to capture memories for other children who face health challenges.

Hence J-U-M-P was formed. Jacob just loved the song JUMP and so it was fitting to use this as our Charity name.

Our ambition is to become a National Charity and to provide wonderful and special images of family activities, anniversaries and adventure trips as a lasting tribute to a child’s achievement.

We hope that you will enjoy seeing our web site develop. It will tell you about our fundraising activities and all about our special mascot Tiggeroo.

If you want to help or get involved or you think that we can help your child, drop us a line, we would be pleased to hear from you.

Our motto:- “The Charity Team that plays together stays together”
