We know, that’s shocking. The good news: Jonathan's Path is working tirelessly to change these statistics and provide a brighter future for teens in foster care.
We offer immediate placement for teens entering custody, reducing the trauma of moving from home to home while they await permanent placement, impacting at the same time the choices they make from then on.
Consider making a $50 regular monthly donation to support our programs and join Jonathan's Path in the mission to break the cycle and create new opportunities for our young ones.

Black-founded nonprofits are taking a wide view of cultural and community needs, and trying to address root causes and big-picture challenges. They address community needs holistically. These are the top three cause areas. Implying the priority of these matters to the Black populations being served.

Was an honour to be asked to speak at the latest Quartet Community Foundation event. I used the time to talk about the social model of disability. The social model of disability is the understanding that disability is something that is created by society.
This is because disabled people face barriers that stop them from taking part in society in the same way as non-disabled people. There are physical barriers that disabled people face. These could include things like:
- A sign that someone with a visual impairment can’t read.
- An inaccessible building without wheelchair ramps.
- A webpage with flashing animations that could trigger a seizure.
There are also social barriers or attitudinal barriers, like stereotypical beliefs that non-disabled people have about disabled people. Assuming that a disabled person “can’t do” something creates a barrier for that person.
According to the social model of disability, it’s these barriers that make a person disabled.
Disability isn’t something that exists inside your body or your mind. It’s something that is created by an inaccessible society. Here at Paul's Place, we work to break down these barriers every day.
"What do disabled people need to thrive?" This was the theme of our latest Behind the Scenes event for fundholders, which took place earlier this month at one of FACE's youth centres in South Gloucestershire.
A big thank you to Lynda Williams and Kayley Waller from Paul's Place and Debbie Teml from FACE, who spoke passionately about how they are supporting disabled people in their communities.
Access to our regular “Behind the Scenes” events across the South West is one of the many benefits of becoming a Quartet Community Foundation fundholder.

In this week’s essay, we highlighted a success story featuring the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. Read the full article to learn how advocates ensured data integrity by pushing back against proposed changes to the survey’s questions on disabilities: https://bit.ly/3OGWzh1#Nonprofits#NonprofitNews#DataIntegrity
