Ashley McKenzie born in Queen’s Park, London and was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) at an early age. Ashley was first exposed to judo at the age of 11, when he got into a fight with a boy who stole his Charizard Pokémon card. Determined to get it back he joined the Moberly Judo Club where he met his assailant by chance. He eventually got his card back after befriending the boy.
Ashley was a member of the Great Britain Olympic Judo Team at London 2012 and is a triple Olympian and double gold medalist at the Commonwealth Games and is looking for funding to help him get to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games!
Hi, I’m Ashley McKenzie, triple Olympian and double gold medalist at the Commonwealth Games! I’m looking for funding to help me get to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games!
I started judo at 11 and it’s been my passion and life saver. I’ve suffered from ADHD, had a heart op and had many ups and downs in life! But judo has changed my life for the better.
I’ve represented my wonderful homeland, Great Britain, for my entire judo career. This is my final shot at the dream of being an Olympic medallist and I really need your help with funding for training camps, competitions and travel costs to help make my dream come true. I’d be so grateful for any support!
I want to put everything I have into this Olympic campaign without having to do a day job every day! I need and want to train every day, do competitions and camps, but would need backing from all my followers and supporters to achieve this!

Our payments feature was live in 28 countries including UK, EU and India.During Covid, we understood the need of the hour and developed India’s first comprehensive health tracker, which measured 5 crucial health vitals including Blood oxygen levels.
Deploying it in multiple hospitals, 1000+ patient beds and saving hundreds of lives with timely alerts for oxygen requirements helped us to truly understand the profound impact technology can have on our lives.
These experiences came with a couple of important learnings. We realised that the readings from the finger were far more reliable than those from the wrist and that a wrist worn device was not comfortable to wear all night and all day.
This gave us the idea for Ring One. We married findings from the health tracking with the learnings from payments feature of our first hybrid smartwatch and came up with something which we believe is truly path breaking – the Ring One.
The world’s most comfortable and stylish smart ring that offers advanced health tracking and on-the-go payments.

In the fast-paced world of modern workplaces, the hustle and bustle of crowded environments have become an inescapable reality for many professionals. The incessant noise, constant chatter, and crowded spaces can create a challenging atmosphere, particularly when it comes to tasks that require focus and concentration.
In a world where everything is connected, Skyted silent mask utilizes advanced noise-absorption technology to enable secure and confidential voice calls in public spaces. You can make calls with peace of mind, knowing your conversations are protected from eavesdroppers.

In a world where everything is connected, Skyted silent mask utilizes advanced noise-absorption technology to enable secure and confidential voice calls in public spaces. You can make calls with peace of mind, knowing your conversations are protected from eavesdroppers.
In cooperation with Airbus, ONERA and ESA (European Space Agency), Skyted Silent Mask was designed to use jet engine dampening technology to muffle the wearer’s voice by up to 80%.
Skyted is made from aerospace technology ✈
Our secret lies in LEONAR, the groundbreaking technology from ONERA, a jet engine silencer.
Crafted with precision and innovation, Skyted takes the power of aerospace acoustics and brings it to your everyday life.
ONERA’s expertise in sound absorption, once reserved for the skies, is now at your service, creating a sanctuary of stillness wherever you go.
Make Calls Anywhere You Want
Hybrid Use – Work Hard Play Harder
Don’t compromise between gaming and working. Designed to take silent calls while playing or working. Elevate your work-play experience with Skyted.
Engineered to seamlessly integrate into your gaming and working routines, this mask is designed for individuals who demand the utmost flexibility.
The Time Is Now – Prepare For In-Flight Calls
Calls in-flight are soon going to be a reality. The technology to support in-flight calls has been around for quite some time. Although the adoption has not been widespread because the airlines are concerned that inflight voice calls will prove to be a significant annoyance to other passengers.
This question was asked to Stephane Hersen, ex-VP Airbus and now the CEO of Skyted which is when he took up the challenge to solve this crucial problem.
Features
The Skyted Mask offers open-air ventilation while trapping only the sound, ensuring maximum comfort during calls.
Thanks to its jet engine-based technology, Skyted Mask absorption works in both ways: voice is absorbed and doesn’t go out and external environment doesn’t come in. As a result, you are perfectly audible without causing disruption to the conversations of others.
The Skyted App furnishes you with insights into your perceptibility and intelligibility levels. This measure is what we call your Sound Bubble. Easily calculate your unique sound bubble directly from our app and tailor it to varying degrees of privacy.
Be heard, even when you can’t raise your voice. Skyted’s Voice Booster enhances the volume of your voice, ensuring clear communication with your interlocutor. It works through the app and it helps people to raise their voices even if you whisper or you speak quietly through the mask.
Talk with your mates without removing the mask. You can talk, thanks to an embedded speaker, without ending your calls. This feature mutes your voice in the ongoing call and allows you to speak to your cab, your workmates or anyone else. Enjoy the freedom to interact with those around you without compromising on your call’s confidentiality.

Hello, my name is Paul Jukes (crew name: JUKEBOX), and I am the Manager & Choreographer of an amateur, male-only, over 40’s dance crew from Brighton, UK. We’re called the Outta Puff Daddys and use our profile to encourage change in society’s approach to mental health – particularly among men.
I am asking for your financial support through kind donations enabling me to continue the mental health awareness work that I have tirelessly committed myself to for the past 2.5 years voluntarily – helping me reach more people and change more lives for the better.
Here is a summary of my story and how your generous donations will be used…
Initially founded in 2012 by local dance teacher JP Omari, we first got together after taking our children to street dance classes. We rehearsed secretly to perform at their annual dance showcase and were hugely successful, so we vowed to continue dancing.
The sudden impact of a founding member passing away (during our early rehearsals) drew us closer together. It was the first trigger to me how vital this unique male social network was for our mental well-being.
It is shocking to consider that in the UK, the biggest killer of men under 45 is suicide. This is not only profoundly tragic, but it is also largely preventable.
In 2017 I suffered my own period of depression and having a strong male social bond with whom I could share my vulnerabilities and emotions was integral to my recovery.
Following my own experience, I became deeply passionate about doing all I could to encourage change in society’s approach/acceptance of mental health.
In Spring 2020, as one of the original founding members, I took over the leadership and choreography role. Even though it was a daunting prospect and with no previous dance teaching experience, I embraced the opportunity and recognised our vast potential to promote mental health awareness.
At this point, through my guidance and shared creativity, our social media content began to amass thousands of followers and millions of views. Our profile and mental health awareness message is now truly being heard and supported worldwide.
As a group of men, our camaraderie and friendship goes far beyond just dancing. We have supported each other through various personal tragedies and challenges. Our close bond provides a safe space to share our vulnerabilities, emotions and discuss our mental well-being.
We break through all stereotypes surrounding traditional masculinity, encouraging others to talk openly about their mental health. We actively promote the importance of talking freely about personal problems or challenges, to seek and ask for help when needed and for others to listen without judgement. Another huge element of our messaging is promoting the importance of self-care and social connectivity with other like-minded positive people.
Our story and message has since been featured globally on various broadcasts, including the BBC, ITV, NBC, Channel10, radio, podcasts and printed features.
I receive regular heartwarming messages from our followers detailing the positive impact we have made to their lives. They actively use the strategies I share along with our fun, uplifting routines as part of their ongoing daily mental well-being.
Now reaching millions worldwide, our content highlights the positive change that we can all make to other people’s lives. It is incredible to know that we are making a real difference but there is much more work to be done.
I am passionate about reaching even more people with our message to encourage positive change and remove mental health stigma. Outside of social media, I offer motivational talks at colleges, workplaces and events, providing insights into my own mental health experiences and strategies. Finally, as a crew we love to perform live, which provides a fantastic opportunity to promote our underlying message in a highly unique and engaging way.
My wider aspirations include many ideas that will allow others worldwide to benefit from the same social support we have come to appreciate – providing vital mental well-being. This includes the development of similar groups (for men and women) around the country/world, which is something I am regularly asked to develop.
As you can imagine, managing the crew and developing all the various performance, talks, PR, media and messaging opportunities is practically a full-time job which I currently have little/no funding – all of my time is provided voluntarily. I was struggling to find the time around my main employment. So in July of this year, I made the decision to dramatically reduce my professional working hours so that I could dedicate more time to the Outta Puff Daddys and the circulation of our important message – to connect with and support many more lives. This is where I am now asking for your help.
To empower others and make the impact that is truly needed, I am asking for your financial support through kind donations. This will enable me to dedicate more time to this valuable work and a message that I am so passionate about, helping me reach more people globally and change more lives for the better.
This is how any kind donations will be used…
to support my work, reaching more people with my mental health mission – to break the stigma, encourage change and transform lives for the better.
to further develop my leadership, choreography and presentation skills.
to empower and mentor new OPD Community groups/crews (globally) where others worldwide can benefit from the same social support we have come to appreciate – providing vital mental well-being. This is something I am often asked to develop.
to visit more schools and workplaces with my unique, powerful, uplifting, motivational talks. Currently, I have to charge for these to cover my costs. However, I would like to offer these talks free of charge to those that cannot afford to pay.
to perform with my crew at more events where our performances always make people stop, smile and think about their own approach to mental well-being. Currently, we often cover our own performance expenses.
to further grow our social media with new, engaging, relevant content and messaging – reaching even more people globally.
to expand my PR and media opportunities, enabling me to reach more people.
to create live streams on our social media, allowing all those who have contributed to this fund to get involved, learn our routines and benefit from the joys of dancing.
to launch a new ‘in conversation with’ podcast – with a focus on engaging life stories, personal experiences and enlightening mental health strategies from a variety of inspiring and influential guests.
to provide my current weekly dance classes free of charge to the incredible crew members (who I call Brothers) that have supported me massively since I took the lead. I know the Outta Puff Daddys is vital to their ongoing mental health, self-care and well-being.
to develop other ideas I have, which for reasons I hope you will understand, are confidential, but I can assure you are for the better good of my mission.
to track and monitor the success of my work, providing valuable insights and learnings. It is important that I ensure my work is reaching those that need it, and genuinely impacting lives for the better.
Much of the above, I am currently unable to provide. However, your kind donations will allow me to fully embrace the opportunities, reach more people and truly create positve change.
I will provide regular feedback and updates to all donors ensuring they are fully aware of the impact they are making.
I know the cost of living is a burden to us all at the moment, and I fully respect you might not be in a financial position to donate large sums of funding. Even a small donation will be massively appreciated and make a huge difference. If your amazing donation helps me reach and change the mindset of just one person, then all of this will have been worth it.
Recent Update
20 November 2023by Paul Jukes, Organiser
Dear all,
It has been a while since I updated you…I apologise for that, I’ve been very busy.
In recent months your kind donations have enabled me to continue pursuing an array of motivational talks, content creation, liaison with OPD Community enquiries, performance plans / negotiations and a much bigger project that I one day hope to share with you – for now it remains confidential!! Ooohhhhh!
Here is a recent Testimonial from one of my talks to a large corporate firm:
As part of our communications in acknowledgement and support of International Mens Day, we invited Paul, the Leader and Director from Outta Puff Daddys to run a webinar for employees. The focus was to share his passion and spread his message about the importance of breaking the stigma and supporting men (and all individuals) around mental health and wellbeing. It was fantastic, joyous, authentic and heartfelt. We had some wonderful feedback from employees. Here are are few: Very moving, powerful and inspiring talk. Thank you Paul. Thank you for sharing your stories and personal journey. I found it very relatable but very uplifting – Thank you Thank you so much for being you Paul – your mindset and crew are amazing.
We will certainly be following the Outta Puff Daddys and their journey to bring joy and spread their messages around mental health and hope we can work together again in the future. A big thank you
Heather Sherrah-Davies, Occupational Health Advisor BASF plc, United Kingdom
I send a HUGE THANK YOU to anyone that can donate, whatever the amount – you truly are supporting a worthwhile cause.
Together we can help improve the lives of many…we are all STRONGER TOGETHER.

Behind everyone person affected by homelessness isa human being like you and I. How would I like to be treated if I was the one sat there asking for help?
The dark, cold, windy and wet season is here which makes each day even more of struggle for our fellow citizens on the streets. Each week our teams come across more human beings who have gone from being the neighbour to becoming invisible.
“All their warming words really did help me through those dark days and literally kept me going when I just wanted to throw the towel in”. Michael (then homeless, now runs his own business)
Under One Sky already supports our homeless friends 30,000 times yearly. We need your support to continue to provide dignity, sustenance and solutions to those facing this human tragedy.
By changing society’s relationship with homelessness we bring together local communities to change lives.
In Dec 22 a recently homeless young man approached our team. Today he is working for Under One Sky, lives in a flat and is growing in life.
Human connection and problem-solving are at our core. We make people feel seen, heard and cared for. Our teams are on the streets in Central London and Newcastle.
Each week we provide 500-600 people with food, hot and cold drinks, snacks, socks, underwear, hats, gloves, hand warmers and toiletries (our skywalk bundle). Most of these items are purchased, not donated to us. We refer our homeless friends to physical and mental health services and other homelessness organisations.
How We Spend Your Donation
Historically Under One Sky has spent 100% of private crowdfunded donations directly on support to those we serve. We intend to continue that way.
The weekly Skywalk bundle we provide costs £3.50 per person or £53,000 to serve 15,000 people from Nov 23 to Mar 24. The remainder of our target £22,000 is allocated to the services below.
On-demand items: Our teams take orders from individuals and deliver the following week for items such as shoes, clothing, coats, sleeping bags and tents.
High-impact items: Some items can make a big difference, such as glasses, wheelchairs and travel tickets to reconnect a person with family and friends.
Emergencies: When someone is deemed exposed to high risk, such as hyperthermia, sexual abuse or pregnant women, we provide emergency overnight stays in hostels.
We constantly seek out opportunities for supplies donations from our volunteer network, social media channels and partners to keep our costs down and recycle preloved items. Examples include Barings Bank/Thomas Franks Foundation (food), Rohan/Stand4Socks/4BYSIX (clothing), The Crown Estate/Punjab Restaurant/We Are Waterloo (storage space), Havas Media/NBCUniversal (marketing/media support).
Personal message: send a message of hope. We will share your message with several hundred homeless friends over Christmas. To do this, contact the campaign organiser below with your message.
Share our campaign: use the “Share” button (below the “Donate Now” button at the top of this page).
Our Manifesto
Together, we can rewrite the narrative
To thriving. No longer just surviving
With conversation, with compassion, with collaboration
It starts with just you
And ends in a growing compassionate community.
Your support is crucial to continue our efforts to keep people alive and to keep changing lives.

5 Healing Benefits of Gongs
For over 4,000 years, the gong has resonated with the world, captivating cultures across the globe with its distinctive and transformative power.
But the gong is more than just an instrument; it’s a gateway to healing, stress reduction, and soothing the nervous system through the enchanting medium of vibrations.
1. Stress Reduction
The soothing vibrations and resonant tones produced by gongs have a profound ability to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to a reduction in stress levels. This promotes relaxation, alleviates tension, and supports overall mental well-being.
2. Enhanced Sleep Quality
Regular exposure to gong sounds has been associated with improved sleep quality. The calming and immersive nature of gong experiences can help individuals achieve a more restful and rejuvenating sleep, contributing to overall health.
3. Pain Management
Gong therapy has been used as a complementary approach in pain management. The deep vibrations can penetrate tissues and muscles, providing relief from physical discomfort and promoting a sense of ease.
4. Emotional Release and Well-Being
The emotional resonance of gongs can facilitate the release of stored emotions and emotional blockages. This process contributes to emotional well-being, helping individuals to process and navigate their feelings more effectively.
5. Mental Clarity and Focus
Gong sessions are known to induce a state of deep relaxation and mindfulness. This heightened state of awareness can lead to improved mental clarity, enhanced focus, and a greater ability to manage the challenges of daily life.
Sound Waves…Literally
Sound waves passing through water conjure intricate and captivating geometric patterns. This phenomenon is known as Cymatics.
The Water Gong displays mesmerizing visual effects emerging from the marriage of sound and liquid, with specific frequencies unveiling captivating geometric shapes..
The Water Gong is the embodiment of our vision: to bring the vivid symphony of sound waves to life, allowing you to witness the profound connection between sound and the fluid world it touches.
About 70% of the human body is made of water. Imagine what these patterns do to our cells?
It’s not just an instrument; it’s an experience waiting to be unveiled.
Art & Design Piece
Timelessly designed, the Water Gong is an authentic sonic art piece, merging collector’s value and conversational appeal with a sensory-rich fusion of design and craftsmanship.
Every Water Gong stands as a singular work of art, embodying a profound message particularly poignant in today’s digital age: the essential need to detach from the virtual realm and delve into the fundamental, calming frequencies of the natural world.
Travel Friendly
Compact and portable, the Water Gong provides the freedom to create spontaneous sounds wherever you go, whether at the park, office, beach, yoga class, or forest.
It is designed to travel with you anywhere, from meditation rooms to music studios, inside or outside.
Say goodbye to the complexities of apps, plugins, and electricity.
With our Water Gong, you can create music in its purest form, completely free from digital constraints.
Simple and Intuitive Playing Experience
Accessible to all, regardless of musical expertise, the Water Gong invites users into an intuitive realm of sound. Whether you’re a seasoned musician or just beginning your musical journey, experience its enduring resonance and innate simplicity.
Craftsmanship Meets Artistry
Hand-Tuned by Experts: The Art of Sonic Perfection
The true magic of the Water Gong lies in the hands of our skilled partners at Grotta Sonora.
Every gong undergoes a meticulous tuning process, a ritual where art meets science. With years of experience and a deep understanding of sound dynamics, each Water Gong is fine-tuned to enhance its inherent sonic qualities.
This careful process ensures that every gong is not just an instrument, but a one-of-a-kind sound sculpture.
