Keep Your Fork Testimonials

“We were very pleased with the work done by the Keep Your Fork team. There were unanticipated issues as there often are with more vulnerable young people which Jo was very professional in dealing with. She was prepared to make repeated phone calls to ensure a successful result for the young person, the media and ourselves despite many difficulties. The media coverage has been a huge internal boost to staff, motivating and encouraging them in their tireless work changing lives. We have found ourselves in the regional papers like the Yorkshire Post for the first time and nationally recognised for our work such as New Start magazine. An unanticipated benefit is the doors the coverage and relationships built have continued to open. Only recently we were invited to a round table on young people’s mental health because of the editor’s raised awareness of our work. We were also impressed the KYF team have taken other opportunities to spread the word about our successes, for example by highlighting us in their weekly newsletter to hundreds of businesses. We would definitely use Keep Your Fork again.”

"I have been mentoring Jodie for nine years now since the very early days of her business and am constantly blown away by four things: Her drive and determination, her professional abilities in performing arts, her passion for social fairness and justice here and abroad, both in theatre and with social enterprises and her commitment to supporting marginalised young people in their personal and professional development."
