Jump is a purpose-led company, in our mission to drive impact we support two not-for-profits – Elmbridge Community Eco Hub and Ethos Foundation. Since 1st August 2024, Jump has donated a total of £1,996.39 to these two inspiring initiatives.
Based in Hersham, Surrey, UK, the Hub gives the local community access to a multi-functional, safe space that provides many beneficial initiatives such as recycling, Library of Things, Community Fridge, Studio Room Hire, Hygiene Bank, Refill Point, Skill Share, Small item recycling, Community Garden, Seed Bank, Jigsaw swap, Book Swap to name but a few – all under one roof!
Jump owner Kate Ford has previously volunteered at the Hub and continues to be blown away by the incredible work that its founder Mick Tumilty and volunteers continue to do to support people in the local area.
Ethos Foundation supports life-changing permaculture programmes — each one curated and led by local people — in ten refugee settlements across Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.
And because all administration costs are covered by the Permaculture Education Institute, every dollar donated goes directly to people within these East African communities.
Ethos Foundation was founded and is run by Morag Gamble, a globally recognised award-winning permaculture educator, speaker, activist and content creator. Kate first met Morag in 2021, when she joined her Permaculture Education Institute design programme. This led to Kate’s work as publicist of the regenerative farming documentary feature film Six Inches of Soil (2022–2024).
Meeting Morag inspired the impact work Kate has carried out over the past four years.
In 2025, Jump donated £376.50 to the University of Manchester for the Lobular Moon Shot Project lobular breast cancer research campaign. This campaign is very close to Kate ‘s heart following her lobular diagnosis in January 2023. During her treatment, Kate joined the Lobular Moon Shot Project working alongside its founder, the legendary late Dr Susan Michaelis (fourth from left below) and other women volunteers. Lobular breast cancer was first identified more than eighty years ago but it has received very little research and has no specific treatment. Devastatingly, Susan who had stage IV disease, died on 9th July 2025.
Throughout 2025, Kate (far left above) ran the publicity and comms for the campaign, three months of which was contractual through Fact Not Fiction Films.
In 2025, the Lobular Moon Shot Project campaign achieved:
- MP drop-in event at Portcullis House
- Silent Vigil opposite Downing Street, which received coverage on BBC News, ITV Anglia News, GMB breakfast television show and many print and online outlets.
- Film premiere of Fact Not Fiction Films’ documentary feature Our Journey with Lobular Breast Cancer at the Raindance Film Festival in London. The film includes Kate’s story.
- Meetings with MPs, the government’s chief scientific advisor Professor Lucy Chappell and NIHR advisors, Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham and others.
- In person meeting with Secretary of State of Health and Social Care Wes Streeting, Health Minister Karin Smyth and Professor Lucy Chappell.
- Coverage in many media outlets – broadcast, print and online – BBC, ITV, Big Issue, OK!, Daily Mirror, Daily Express, Glamour and more.
- Strong social media campaign lobbying government for £20m funding for a five-year research project to fully understand the basic biology of the disease.
- Action at Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park, London.
2026 and beyond
Kate is working on a new social impact project that continues the call for lobular breast cancer research while investigating failures in women’s healthcare.
