Jetty Lane is all about Community and none of it would happen without the help of others. Here are some of the people and organisations who are partnering with us to make Woodbridge a better place for children and young people:
Just42
Just42 are a charity making a positive impact on the lives of young people and children in rural Suffolk. They are the only open access youth provider in 200 square miles of rural Suffolk and last year they came into contact with about 2500 different children and young people. Through their work on different projects they build relationships with children and young people over a number of years. In this way they build confidence and self esteem, build community, reduce crime and anti-social behaviour and improve employability. Their work also increases wellbeing, school attendance and therefore results.
Just42 have their main office at Jetty Lane, currently in the two portacabins on site. They were originally tenants of the old Woodbridge Youth Centre and after it was demolished they moved into the portacabins as there was nowhere else affordable that they could go. They have been freezing there during the winter ever since!
They are very much looking forward to having a permanent, purpose-built base at the Youth Hub and we plan for them to be one of Jetty Lane’s Anchor Tenants.

Jason Alexander, Suffolk Green Hero
Jason is the founder of Rubbish Walks CIC, an award winning social enterprise raising awareness about the issues of littering, single-use plastics and waste in general across East Suffolk and beyond. He is also the person behind the UK’s first Vintage Litter Museum. It is currently based in one of the blue containers at Jetty Lane although once the Youth Hub is built, our plan is for him to become one of our Anchor Tenants and for the Museum to have a purpose-built, permanent home there.

Woodbridge Fundraising Car Wash
This is run by Farlingaye School students JB, Sam and Josh. They are studying economics and have set up their own enterprise in car washing and gardening. They give us half the money raised, how impressive is that!
Would you like to have your car washed? JB, Sam and Josh are highly recommended and have streamlined their bookings process by creating an online booking facility.
