You've got choices to some degree.
And we chose to try and create as much positive energy and action as possible because that is who Jo was.
And that is who we are as a family.
And we also did not want our community and our country to be defined by Jo's murder because that isn't what our country looks like.
And that isn't who we are.
That was one individual, one heinous individual who committed a horrific act.
But that isn't what Batley & Spen was like.
That isn't what the most of this country is like.
And we needed to show that and we needed to tell those stories.
So the foundation has worked on lots of different issues.
It started really looking at things that Jo had worked on.
So the money that was donated, we gave to three different organisations.
We gave to Hope Not Hate that tackle far-right extremism.
We gave it to the White Helmets in Syria because Jo had done a lot of work on the conflict in Syria.
And we gave money to the Royal Voluntary Service who work on loneliness.
So we set the foundation up, continuing a lot of those themes of work, particularly on loneliness.
And this was an issue that Jo had started working on.
She set up the Commission on Loneliness when she was in Parliament.
That work was then continued on a cross-party basis with Seema Kennedy from the Conservative Benches.
But then the other big thing that the foundation does is the Great Get Together.
