The JAS was formed after an innocent conversation round a Friday night dinner table at a friend’s house. After yet another amazing spread of food and again more people asking for recipes, we joked around saying “that’s it, the answer is cooking classes”.  From there we somehow ended up here, with what we hope you find, interesting, exciting and diverse.

Recent research has revealed that:

• The religious community is growing while the secular is shrinking
• There is limited knowledge of the activities and organisations available in Manchester
• Some people have requested more information on what is available
• A more diverse range of activities has been requested by others

So here is JAS, providing as much information as possible from as many sources, for all age groups.

JAS will also:

• Run its own small groups & classes
• Provide support through interactive advice columns
• Offer introduction services for: (i) Dating, (ii) Friends, (iii) Discussions on what’s on offer

JAS is also providing business services for all you entrepreneurial business owners by way of the business listings, specialist advice by professionals and business networking.

So whether you are interested in improving your business exposure, social network or dealing with your own needs JAS hopes there is something here for you.  If you have any requirements not covered here, use the contact section to let us know and we will endeavour to provide it.
