“Just like every teenager, I felt that I was at a crossroads' F1 legend Eddie Jordan tells KasiaLDelgado why the theipaper Christmas Appeal in aid of EYH_UK is so important to him
“As you get to know the young people, they become so fantastic, and usually stand up on their own two feet. All they’re looking for is for someone to believe in them, to give them that bit of help, and that can mean the difference between them being down and out or having a job. Once you get the young people to believe in themselves, they become different children altogether. It’s absolutely fantastic to see.
“I was once standing next to Van Morrison at an event,” says Jordan, “and I said to him, ‘What are you doing Thursday night, Van?’ and he said, ‘What kind of question is that?’ I told him he was one of my all-time heroes and I’d like him to play at the charity gig, and he did, for free. The money donated to The Amber Foundation helps sustain the small group of homes the young people stay in. “This is where young people are able to come and find a new future,” says Jordan, “and our success rate speaks for itself because 90 per cent of the people who come usually leave after six months of their own accord, because they’re on their own two feet. We can in most cases get them some job or find a position for when they leave.
“It’s quite something to spend time with the young people and watch how much of a difference some practical help and inspiration can make to them. We put any money to brilliant, on-the-ground use to give young people a chance at getting out of homelessness and into a future they deserve.
