JAFLAS and Dr Alan Blacker & Co have now merged into one charitable concern JAFLAS Dr Alan Blacker & Co CIC so that we can streamline our administration and still provide you with the charitable services we always have done but can trade with the public and business rather than using a trading subsidiary.

Simplification to expand our outreach.

CIC's are the new exciting way for charitable concerns to function without having to have two bodies, and we have exploited this new framework to provide you with better service.

We are still regulated and our assets are still locked into community interests.

The two bodies emerged 4th August 2022.

Whilst we agree with the sentiment, we strive to prove him wrong every day. ( about the rights that is, the country not caring is a given.)
