They definitely keep us on our toes and we are truly blessed having these little beauties in our life .
I am a retired Detective Constable, having worked for West Yorkshire Police for 19 years and it was a job I took immense pride in.
I will bring the determination, drive, enthusiasm and compassion to make Jord’s charity succeed
I am so privileged to work along side my wonderful family and Jord’s closest friends whilst keeping his legacy alive.
My aim for the charity is to help as many underprivileged children receive financial support so they have access to either sport or play.
The smile and happiness of a child is so wonderful to see and to witness this first hand is the best feeling ever.
It’s like we give a little bit of Jord to who we help and i know Jord would be so proud.

Hiya, I’m Kelly.
Jordan was my partner and simply the most incredible person you could ever wish to meet.
Like most couples, we had plans to grow old together but on 25th January 2020 everything changed. In the weeks following Jords death I found out I was pregnant and in Sept 2020 welcomed Maisie Jordan Sinnott into the world. She is our silver lining and keeps us all on our toes!
Although Jord is no longer here in person I feel so lucky to have spent a part of my life with him and will carry him in my heart forever. I am dedicated to helping as many people as we possibly can through Jords Charity and building him a legacy to be proud of. Jordan made all of our lives better and I hope we can do this for others through JSFT.

Hi, I’m Sonia Cookson.
I’m married to Anthony (Cookie), a proud mum to Lee & Laura and ‘Nannie’ to my gorgeous cheeky grandsons, Eldon and Edison.
Being Jordan’s auntie, I have had the greatest pleasure watching him grow to become the man he was. Funny, generous, good looking (not biased at all!) and above all, so loving.
I have worked in Childcare, Financial Sector for 28 years and now currently working part time for the NHS as well as Treasurer for the charity.
It’s a pleasure to work alongside family and Jord’s close friends and fully committed to ensure Jordan’s legacy is fulfilled. I’m excited to watch the charity grow and see what is to come in the future.

My names Laura Cookson and I’m Jordans cousin.
I had the best 24 years growing up alongside him and making many special memories. I’m a mummy to two beautiful boys, Eldon & Edison.
I feel so honoured to be able to do amazing things in Jordans name and to continue his legacy through our charity.
I am super proud of the charity and how far we have come. The things we have achieved so far is only the start for us so watch this space.

I was one of Jordan’s best friends and have not gone a day since January 25th without thinking about him. Like others in the foundation, I am a serving Police officer in West Yorkshire Police. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, I absolutely love spending time with the gorgeous Maisie Sinnott and my nieces Isabelle and Sophia!
My role within the JSFT is trustee, assisting in giving ideas and making suggestions for further fundraising. I am also involved in looking after the charity Facebook page. I am keen to be involved in helping organise future sporting/fundraising events to raise money and awareness of the foundation.
It is an absolute honour to be part of the JSFT and I am looking forward to working with my friends and brothers, who are also trustees, to change the lives of others.
It is incredible what has already been achieved and I can’t wait to see more!

My name is Tracy Morrell, I am Jordan’s second cousin. I have a degree in Business Studies and have worked in industry for many years. I am now a Company Director, along side my husband Lee, for an IT company and work from home.
I have a gorgeous dog, Alfie, and love spending time with my beautiful nieces, Amelia and Holly as well as my wider family.
Since 2009 I have been involved as a volunteer for a children’s charity, which has been a great support to my nieces. I loved helping out at the annual Christmas event and, on numerous occasions, I represented the charity when collecting donations.
I feel it an honour and privilege to be asked to become a trustee of the Jordan Sinnott Foundation Trust.

I’m Daniel Ward and I am a professional footballer at Huddersfield Town FC. Jordan was my best mate and we were also ex-team mates.
My role at the Jordan Sinnott Foundation Trust is to support fundraising and raising awareness. Also like everyone else at the JSFT, to make sure Jordans Legacy lives on.
Played for the likes of; Bolton Wanderers, Swindon Town, Coventry City, Huddersfield Town, Rotherham United, Cardiff City, Huddersfield Town

I am Jonathon Stead, a very good friend and former teammate of Jordan’s. My commitment within the JSFT is to assist in organising and promoting various fundraising events to help raise awareness and funds. Over the coming years I am looking forward to growing Jordans legacy and helping unfortunate children gain access to sports.
Played for the likes of; Huddersfield, Blackburn Rovers, Sunderland, Sheffield United, Bradford City, Harrogate Town.

My name is Joe Lee and I had the pleasure of being one of Jordan’s good friends.
Jordan had the amazing ability to put those around him first and would always be willing to help anyone who needed it.
My role within JSFT will be to help the brilliant team in carrying on Jordan’s goodwill, in organising and promoting fundraisers, to try make a difference for those less privileged.
I know with Sin at the helm, anything is possible!

My name is Laura Sinnott and I’m Jordan’s cousin. I tried to think about how Jord would have introduced me if he could, and I think it would’ve gone something like this:
She’s old (I’m not, but he thoroughly enjoyed reminding me of his youthfulness).
Her excellent taste in music came from me. (Debatable but I’ll let him have it).
She speaks weird (I’m from the midlands side of the family, but I can do a mean northern accent!).
She never answers her phone (very true).
I was her favourite cousin (Also true but ssshhhh!).
I have worked as a nurse for over a decade and counting.. I’m mum to a beautiful little boy Seb with my fiancé Andrew.
I am a Trustee for the JSFT and I could not be more proud to be a part of this.
To all of you who didn’t know Jord, he was the most hilarious, charismatic, charming and more importantly, kindest, selfless and beautiful soul I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, let alone be blessed to be related to. This charity is something he would be immensely proud of and will mean that his kindness can now be given forward to those who need it most, in the arena he loved most which was sport.
I feel unbelievably privileged to be able to be involved alongside my wonderful family and his utterly incredible friends, and would like you thank you all for your support for JSFT.

I’m Charlie Hutton.
My two brothers and I were all close friends with Jordan having known him since primary school.
‘Sin’ was always the best guy to be around, with his infectious personality and smile and he is missed beyond words by all of his friends and family.
It is such an honour to be a trustee of the Jordan Sinnott Foundation Trust and to create a legacy for him that he would be so proud of.
Sport was a massive part of Jordan’s life and my role in the team is to help raise awareness and fundraising so that we as a charity can support some amazing causes and help young people gain access to sports.

Hi I’m Chloe. The Jordan Sinnott Foundation Trust is very close to my heart, Jordan was one of my friends and to be an ambassador of the JSFT is an honour. I work within the deaf community and fight for social inclusion. The JSFT have these same values and I am excited to be working as part of the team to make a positive difference to people’s lives.
