"For some 20 years, the Joe Strummer Foundation has delivered on our mission to further the essence of what Joe believed in: bringing people together through music. We are now at a crucial point in the Joe Strummer Foundation’s history, there are big changes ahead and we’re excited... The Joe Strummer Foundation is becoming the Joe Strummer Fund!

With such aligned goals and philosophies, we know this work with the Single Homeless Project is the best way to build on the valuable work the Joe Strummer Foundation has achieved and continue building upon Joe’s legacy.

Message From the Joe Strummer Foundation re WAYout ARTS

WAYout ARTS

Our friends over in Freetown are in pretty dire need of some new equipment for the studios. 

If you have anything that may be of use, please contact Hazel on hazel@wayoutarts.org - a long list of kit is below, even if it’s not in great condition, we can find a use for it!

Laptops - any kind, PC or Mac. Mac for music and video editing, PC for writing and internet research. For music production MacBooks 2015 and later, for all other uses, any age will work.

iMacs for video editing and music production.

Instruments - guitars, especially bass guitars, keyboards, saxophone and other brass instruments.

Sound cards, microphones, speakers and headphones for the music studio and mobile studio…

Cameras for video shoots. DSLRs or more professional cameras are welcome. Their trained filmmakers need to work on more professional kit than they have. Beginners can use DSLR or handycams. Tripods, drives, lights.

They are also always in need of memory sticks, old, unlocked phones - they do not need to be smartphones. Many of their members have no phone at all so the old push-button Nokias are just as welcome.

You can also donate to save WAYout Arts via JustGiving: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/savewayout

A Message from the Joe Strummer Foundation re JSF Runners - No Input No Output

 Were you aware that Joe took part in three marathons himself, London twice, and Paris?

This prompted us to set up JSF Runners.

An inclusive running community to chat about health, encouragement, fitness, wellbeing, nutrition, Joe, and of course, music.

We are aware that running is not for everybody and we want to make sure we only email you about the things you care about.

So unless you sign up via the JSF Runners - Are You In? blog post on our website, this will be the last email we'll send to you about it.

We respect your time and value your support.

From all of us,
The Joe Strummer Foundation

Announcement From the Joe Strummer Foundation Re Partnership with Technology Provider, Keemoji, To Release the JSF Keyboard on iOS & Android

 The Joe Strummer Foundation are excited to announce a brand-new fundraising partnership
with Mocha Global – the creators of the mobile keyboard application, Keemoji.

Keemoji is a fully responsive customisable keyboard that makes it easier than ever to text with your friends and family. With dozens of app integrations and interactive features such as contact tagging, send messages that will power-up your chat experience.

 Download The JSF Keyboard

We join a handful of other forward thinking nonprofit organisations – Creative Youth, Rockinghorse, Greyhound Trust & The Hansen Foundation – who also hope to raise funds through their branded Keemoji keyboards.

Introducing the JSF Keyboard

The Joe Strummer Foundation mobile keyboard (#JSFKeyboard) is a great way to stay in touch with everything we are doing - our projects, new merchandise, gigs and events.

We hope that leveraging mobile technology to help raise funds will allow more nonprofits to reach and engage more supporters in a way not done before. Exciting times!

How the JSF Keyboard will benefit our Foundation

The fundraising element happens whenever you use the keyboard to buy something from one of the thousands of online stores from Amazon, Next, Tesco etc.. an average of 2.5% of everything you spend will be donated directly to the Joe Strummer Foundation. At no extra cost to you or us.

So if you spend £100 on your weekly shop then whoever you buy it from will give us £2.50. Every time you shop. At no cost to you and with no extra effort you are generating money for us from the shops you buy stuff from.

It’s a great thing to do for us just by doing what you do already. We can really grow what we do if lots of people use the JSF keyboard on their phones or tablets.

 Download The JSF Keyboard

Key JSF Keyboard Highlights:

§  Stay up-to-date with our news and updates directly within the app

§  Express yourself with emojis

§  Seamless shopping directly from your keyboard, with custom suggestions helping you get to where you want to be instantly

§  Improved typing with Swipe feature, profanity filter, and languages for you to choose from

§  Direct access to exclusive content from The Joe Strummer Foundation without switching apps

§  Your typing is always secure - Keemoji can not see, access or store, any of your information. Ever.

We sincerely hope you enjoy using the JSF Keyboard and we would like to thank the team at Mocha Global for their commitment, hard work & guidance to help us get the JSF Keyboard ready for release.

Thank you,

News About the Joe Strummer Foundation Studio at The Soundhouse Project

Strummerville have announced that the latest phase of the SoundHouse Project partnership has seen a new studio build-out in their King George Hostel, along with additional funding and in-kind donations of music equipment over the course of 2021.

The SoundHouse Project is part of a dynamic programme at Single Homeless Project (SHP), The Opportunities Programme. This offers collaborative and creative ways for people experiencing homelessness to take an active part, to learn, share and grow through a range of social and cultural activities.

SoundHouse facilitates positive experiences for people improving confidence, self-worth, and
mental well-being. It identifies and supports individual projects and facilitates collaboration, it enables people to feel part of something, take on roles, responsibilities, and ownership. This helps to express and hear themselves, to identify their own and others’ strengths, and support each other’s growth.

The Joe Strummer Foundation Studio is a welcoming and inspiring space that will help support the Soundhouse Project in its mission and its residents to explore their creativity.
