Supporter spotlight: friends of Jack Johnson

03 Nov 2025
Charity news
Roz Walton

We wanted to say a huge thank you to the wonderful friends of Jack Johnson who have been fundraising for Candlelighters in his memory.

Jack’s football team, Colton Juniors, organised a Race Night with tote betting, a raffle, and an auction of Leeds United memorabilia – raising an amazing £4,414!


And Jack’s close friend Annabelle has been busy making loom bands (especially in Leeds United colours!) and collecting donations everywhere she goes – even at a wedding – raising an incredible £350!


We are so grateful for this amazing support in Jack’s memory. Your kindness means the world and helps us continue to be there for children with cancer and their families.
