Finalist for Young Entrepreneur Award
Jade was nominated for the Young Entrepreneur Award in 2024 through the PRECIOUS Awards.
Although she didn’t win, being nominated alongside thousands of others and making it to the final three is a remarkable achievement in itself.
LOVE ‘OUR’ YOUTH 2023
In 2023, Jade, with the support of her fellow YPAG (Youth People’s Action Group) member Mya, led a powerful social action project called LOVE ‘OUR’ YOUTH.
This event was born from their shared passion for raising awareness about the critical lack of youth provisions in South London.
International Women’s Day
For International Women’s Day, Jade was invited to Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls to deliver a speech on her journey within education to inspire the girls to strive for their goals and use the challenges that occur in their lives as drive to want to be better.
BBC Radio with Eddie Nestor
Jade & Tyrell were asked by Eddie Nestor to share their views on why so many young boys are loosing their lives to knife crime.
Both Jade and Tyrell used their experience and knowledge on knife crime within their local boroughs and communities to articulate their findings on the causes and solutions to London’s rise of youth violence.
Meeting with the MET at Scotland Yard
Alongside other YPAG members Leonita, Bipin, Miriam and Kai, Jade was invited to Scotland Yard to speak with the MET Police on the issue around Knife Imagery.
YPAG had concerns with the MET Police posting images of seized knives on their social media accounts.
London’s Hope Hack
Jade was part of running the Hope Collectives Annual Hope Hack. This year the Hope Hack was in hosted by London’s Violence Reduction Unit at London Stadium, with the support of West Ham United Foundation.
It was named the biggest Hope Hack yet!
VRU Youth Takeover Day
Jade was part of the Executive Planning Committee who organised the VRU’s Youth Takeover Day!
This event was shaped to give young people aged 16+ access to opportunities within education or employment, as well as the chance to learn through the delivery of workshops
TESTIMONIALS
I first met Jade in January where I heard her speak at Included run by The Difference. She blew me away and actually made me cry, not only with her story but with the way she spoke about turning her difficulties into something so positive.
Jade is now developing this into her own business and I couldn’t champion her more. We will definitely be having her back (she’s already booked for the next IWD) and I really want to spread the word to you all so you can get her in to your schools too.
A few of the students came to report how inspiring and motivating they found the assembly. Some said it was one of the best assemblies they have attended and wished it had been longer.
“As part of our drive at Newhaven School to develop student understanding of Equity, we had the pleasure of Jade Barnett visit our school to deliver three 1 hour student sessions in the Spring term 2024. The focus was on the difference between Equity and Equality. Students that took part got a very good understanding and I would recommend Jade as a workshop facilitator, would definitely work with her again.”
