JSPCA Animals’ Shelter

Our Mission Statement:

“Prevent cruelty, promote knowledge, and provide for the aged, sick, lost and unwanted animals in Jersey”

History of the JSPCA:
In 1868 the Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals' (JSPCA) was founded and Miss Frances Elizabeth Wilson established the Jersey Animals' Shelter itself in 1913. In 1925 the JSPCA formed a Committee to assist Miss Wilson in her work and in 1936, the JSPCA and Jersey Animals' Shelter amalgamated. This was a lifelong wish of Miss Wilson and took place shortly before her death.

JSPCA Animals' Shelter Services:
The JSPCA Animals' Shelter provides a range of services relating to animal care, offering help and advice for all members of the public. These services include:

24 Hour Ambulance Service
The JSPCA Animals' Shelter provides a 24 hour ambulance service whereby members of the public can always telephone for advice or assistance. Ambulance staff are available to rescue injured animals, collect strays and assist the public. The drivers provide an invaluable service in ensuring that help is always available for any animal or bird in distress.

Lost and Found Service
The JSPCA Animals' Shelter collects and cares for many of Jersey's stray animals and runs a comprehensive lost and found service. Every effort is made to reunite each stray animal received at the Shelter with its owner as quickly as possible. The JSPCA Animals' Shelter strongly recommends microchipping pets for identification purposes.

Boarding for Cats
The JSPCA Animals' Shelter has facilities to board your cats. Our Cattery has recently been redecorated and designed with maximum comfort and hygiene in mind and with the aim of minimising the risk and spread of disease. Each animal has its own individual kennel with an outside run. Every day each cat is given a hands-on health check. The Shelter also offers an 'Emergency Boarding' service for which a number of kennels are kept available at all times. This service offers boarding facilities for cats belonging to people who may have to go into hospital.

Re-homing
Regardless of the reason or circumstances for being unable to keep a pet, the JSPCA Animals' Shelter will take in all unwanted companion animals and help to find them new and loving homes. Every animal is thoroughly health-checked and temperament assessed before being placed in a new home. Most animals are neutered, vaccinated and microchipped (as appropriate for the species) before becoming available for re-homing. Once a prospective new owner has been found, a home check will be carried out to ensure the animal's requirements can be met. The JSPCA Animals’ Shelter also runs a Foster Animal Scheme, which offers veterinary treatment to animals re-homed with on-going medical conditions.

Animal Crematorium
The JSPCA understands and respects the special relationship that develops between people and their pets. On contacting the JSPCA Animals' Shelter, bereaved owners will find a sympathetic ear and can be reassured that their pet will be treated with the utmost dignity and care. The JSPCA Animals' Shelter provides the only Pet Cremation Service on Jersey and owns the Animals' Cemetery at First Tower.

Assisted Veterinary Care Clinic
The JSPCA recognises the important role that pets play in many people’s lives and aims to help pets stay in loving homes by offering discounted veterinary services via their Assisted Veterinary Care Clinic. The assisted vet care clinic provides subsidised vet care for some animals adopted from the JSPCA with pre-existing complex health conditions to encourage the re-homing of elderly and infirm animals who would otherwise be overlooked.

Rescue and Rehabilitation of injured Wildlife –
The JSPCA provides free veterinary care to wildlife needing our help. The animals are cared for by our dedicated Clinic staff until they are able to be released back into the wild. During bad weather and storms we care for any oiled sea birds that are washed up on our shores. We have a specialist facility which allows birds to be washed by our trained staff and stay in our care until they are ready to be released. From baby fledglings & squirrels needing around the clock care to injured geese and swans we will provide care for animals in need.

Education –
The JSPCA educate our future generations about caring and helping animals in Jersey. Schools and clubs organise visits to our JSPCA site to learn more and meet some of our residents. Please get in touch if you would like to visit and learn more about what we do.

JSPCA Red Squirrel Disease Surveillance Scheme -
The Jersey Red Squirrel Disease Surveillance programme studies the broad causes of squirrel mortality, researches into the prevalence and significance of diseases and infectious disease agents that are identified in the red squirrel population and examines how these may impact upon the long-term health, viability and survival of the Jersey red squirrels. The JSPCA Animals' Shelter liaises with the States of Jersey Environment Division on this important project which endeavours to implement a number of the proposed actions and recommendations outlined in the States of Jersey’s Red Squirrel Biodiversity Action Plan.

Affiliates:
The JSPCA Affiliation Scheme was developed and introduced in 2001, whereby local animal charities and organisations are invited to 'join forces' and work together with the JSPCA to promote animal welfare and ensure that scarce resources are best utilised. The aim of this scheme is to present a united front against animal cruelty and promote all aspects of animal welfare.

Art in the Frame Foundation, a Jersey registered not-for-profit charity, was founded 22 years ago by two art teachers. From the very start, Art in the Frame Foundation had two main objectives:

1) To help and support up-and-coming artists and craftworkers exhibit their work in Jersey and the UK by furthering opportunities for them.

2) To enhance the learning of the art and craft experience by bringing exciting and innovative artists and craftworkers to the island’s schools, from primary school to A Level, as well as to the island’s public and those with learning disabilities and to give talks and run workshops.

A major dream and a third objective, which very happily was realised 19 years ago, was to find a hub in which to carry out our objectives above. With the help of a Tourism Development Fund Grant, The Harbour Gallery at St Aubin, Jersey was born. Now it is a case of fundraising to help pay towards the commercial rents etc whilst still keeping our activities as accessible as possible to students in schools and of all ages and supporting up and coming artists/craftworkers.

The Jersey Arts Trust, operating as ArtHouse Jersey, is a Jersey-based charitable association that contributes towards the development of the arts in Jersey.

ArtHouse Jersey helps artists from around the world create ambitious works that have a positive impact on our Island community and international audiences.

The Trust was established to offer the benefits of the Arts, in their widest sense, to those people who would otherwise have limited access because of issues of health, mobility or special needs. It is a pioneering organisation which takes an holistic view of the healing process.

We believe that every person should have the opportunity to experience fine art throughout their lives from a young age, and to be given space to explore their own relationship to it and opinions of it in a context that uncritically educates and nurtures. This exposure can foster self-knowledge and confidence in one's own preferences and insights as a consumer of art, an appreciation for different artistic disciplines and skill levels, and ultimately enhances overall self-worth and a deeper understanding of the human condition. The fine line between art and entertainment–while both are ultimately valuable–lies in that art is rooted in profound study and gently pushes or provokes, leading the audience into a place of self-examination and discovery.

Because of the isolated nature of island life, we must provide these opportunities at home, particularly for those without the means or inclination to travel. As a high-level resident performing arts company we are able to offer elevating audience experiences in a practical and unassuming manner, in free shows for schoolchildren, in subsidised tickets, in outdoor performances with open attendance, and in open days where the public can glimpse the work behind the scenes. In this way art becomes an integral thread woven into our local culture, belonging to our entire community.

Objectives:

To develop and present productions of contemporary ballet of the highest international standard, for the cultural benefit of the people of Jersey and with a particular emphasis on reaching the widest possible audience through affordable pricing and subsidised tickets, diverse, captivating programming, and internal policies that uphold equal opportunity and representation.

And

To utilise the art of ballet for the betterment of our community through programs designed to increase communication, understanding, and emotional and physical well-being.

Our mission, at its core, is actually very simple: we want to develop great art, and make sure that people get to experience it.

The Band of the Island of Jersey aim to provide musical entertainment and education to the people of Jersey and beyond. They provide entertainment by marching and band concerts for private and official functions.

Jersey Arts Centre exists to foster the development and celebration of the arts island-wide and beyond.

- To enrich the quality of life for all residents and visitors
- To encourage participation in the performing, visual and literary arts
- To educate, inspire and to encourage debate

This is achieved by providing exciting, innovative, wide-ranging, challenging, professional and community arts in welcoming, high-quality and accessible environments.

The Jersey Eisteddfod is a charitable organisation which aims to promote all the arts in the island by exhibition and performance. Classes are held which are adjudicated by distinguished qualified people. In this way the competitors are helped to improve their skills. There are two festivals each year and thousands participate. It is run almost exclusively by volunteers and in any one year many hundreds are people are needed to help deliver the festivals.

The Jersey Festival Choir is an adult, mixed-voice community choir of around 90-strong which has been making music in Jersey since 1955. Non-auditioned, we welcome both new and experienced singers.

Our weekly practices are held on Wednesdays from September to May between 7.30pm and 9.30pm at Jersey College Preparatory School (JCP) in St. Saviour.

Our main annual (charity/fundraising) events are the Festival of Carols at St Thomas’ Church in mid-December and a Spring Concert in St. Helier Methodist Centre at the end of April / in early May. 

For the Festival of Carols, we welcome the Holmchase Singers and, over the years, have performed with the St. Cecilia Orchestra, Jersey Premier Brass and A Cappella Brass. Each year, there is a chosen charity for the Festival and, through this, the Choir has supported many local charities over the years.

For our Spring Concert, we perform major choral works, both classical and contemporary, with the St. Cecilia Orchestra. We always invite a professional conductor to lead us in the concert and are joined by visiting vocal soloists.

Important parts of our calendar also include singing Christmas carols in the Royal Square for the Soup Kitchen; and, on Liberation Day each year, we sing alongside La Ronde Concert Band as part of the commemoration and celebrations which take place in Liberation Square.

Over the years, we have also entered the Jersey Eisteddfod; sung Christmas music outside the Georgian House in New Street and at Government House; participated in the Jersey Music Service’s Summer Concert; and taken part in the BBC’s ‘Songs of Praise’. We have worked with a number of other local musical groups, including the Amity Singers and the Musical Originals.

1. To encourage the use of Jerriais and promote and foster Jersey's indigenous cultural heritage.
2. To help organise events from time to time related to the Jerriais language and culture, alone or together with other organisations.

Music in Action's motto is to 'Inspire, Create, Educate'. The charity works to develop a fun and accessible cultural programme of the highest calibre, including outreach with educational music programmes designed to encourage and inspire children and young adults. They also work to raise money for other charities through concerts, providing opportunities for talented Jersey musicians to play with major stars.

The charity has implemented a series of outreach programmes in order to continue to 'lift spirits' and provide live music to those who have little access to it.  Working with local Jersey musicians, MiA is facilitating inspirational online therapeutic music sessions to the most vulnerable in society, including the elderly in care homes. The charity is also working to produce Jersey Sings!, which provides children all over the island the chance to come together and sing.

If you feel that you are in the position to do so at this challenging times, please consider donating. You will be directly supporting these initiatives, and bringing music to those who need it most. Please email info@musicjersey.com for more information.

About Brighter Futures
Brighter Futures supports families in Jersey who are facing significant difficulties or challenges in their lives. Since 2008, Brighter Futures has supported over 2,800 families, benefitting over 11,200 Islanders.
Working alongside the main carer, our educational model provides them with the tools to cope.
Supporting 170 families at any one time, we focus on 3 key areas;
* Parent and child relationships, helping our clients recognise and value their role as their child’s first and most important educator;
* Wellbeing and positive mental health, supporting social and emotional wellbeing, allowing increased resilience with the outside world to give our clients a brighter future and hope.
* Personal development and second chance learning provide the skills our clients may need to progress and succeed in education, work, and life.

The charity works with these families for a range of reasons including physical ill health and mental health issues many of whom are referred with high-risk and complex issues, including child protection concerns. From our facility at the Bridge and Georgetown, families access a variety of services and programmes on a voluntary basis for up to 3 years and are able to return for further support where needed.

Families come to Brighter Futures from a variety of backgrounds and for a number of reasons such as suffering from post-natal depression, substance misuse or addiction, depression or anxiety, financial difficulties, domestic abuse or isolation. The impact on children within the family associated with any of these issues is significant. All of these factors leave children in a position of disadvantage and without a safe and supportive home life and as a consequence, children can struggle to develop emotionally, physically, psychologically and verbally.

Aims
* To provide children, young people and families in the island the opportunity to be safe, healthy, happy and aspirational. 

* To support children, young people and families to engage in life changing opportunities, especially in time of difficulties and challenge.

Objectives
* To support parents/carers to recognise and value their role as their child’s first and most important educator  

* For parents/carers to be able to recognise the barriers to achieving wellbeing and good relationships and so take action to improve their personal lives 

* For the parents/carers to take control of their personal and educational development and improve their life chances, including their financial situation.

Brighter Futures facilitates a series of programmes and services that are available to families to enable clients to obtain these objectives, a full list of these is enclosed. Parents/Carers receive full support from a dedicated keyworker who facilitates their journey with us. Another essential service is the provision of a crèche facility for children and siblings, enabling parents/carers to access programmes without needing to arrange separate childcare.

Brightly (formerly known as Brig-y-Don Children’s Charity) is a longstanding, small, independent Jersey charity that awards grants to children and young people from birth to 25 years who are either in the care of, or leaving the care of the Government of Jersey, as well as others who are being supported by Children’s Services or suffering adversity and are in need.

Many care-experienced children and young people have poor self-esteem and significantly, less developed social skills then their counterparts in the wider population, as well as education and knowledge gaps, due to disrupted young lives and multiple placements. We seek to provide them with the kind of opportunities and support their peers, living in a stable family environment, may well take for granted, things like a place at a nursery school, some new clothes, help with setting up their first home, driving lessons, dentist, doctors, laptops, education grants etc.

The charity does not support applications for goods or services that are included in grants or benefits from the Government of Jersey.

Our support makes a real difference to the life experiences of children and young people who are in need. There are also less obvious but equally important benefits that result from our work, such as greater social inclusion, financial independence, personal growth and development and less reliance on benefit systems.

All money raised by Brightly either stays in Jersey for the benefit of Island residents or can be applied in cases where local children and young people have to be cared for off-island.

In 2022, as well as continuing to undertake our current remit (to financially support care experienced children and young people), we are piloting a new initiative Home-Start Jersey. The new Home-Start Jersey service will be available to provide home-visiting support to three specific target groups:
• care leavers aged 16-25;
• families with pre-school children, where a parent is care experienced; and
• families with pre-school children, where a child or a parent is experiencing poor health.
For further information about Home-Start Jersey please visit our website www.brightly.je or https://www.home-start.org.uk/
 

Caring Cooks of Jersey is a local based charity with a mission to empower children and young people in Jersey to grow, cook and eat healthy food in childhood and beyond.

We specifically support families with children of school age, as we strongly believe that food and nutrition from an early age in a child's life is very important and we want to support children, at school and at home, to make that a part of daily life, through the services we provide –

The object of Centrepoint is to promote the welfare of children in Jersey by providing child-first, leading quality child care in nurturing environments within our nurseries, play care and special needs centres. At Centrepoint we provide the absolute best possible start for our island’s children supporting their emotional, physical and mental development through exploration, learning and fun.
Centrepoint operates at the highest professional standards expected of an organisation of this stature. We rely on fees payable by parents in order to finance our operations but we provide financial support to parents/carers of children who would otherwise be unable to access a nursery or play care setting. This can include either full or partial fee remission. This support also includes subsidised rates and flexible hours for children of keyworkers who work shifts as a typical part of their job.
We allocate 10 fully subsidised play care spaces (term-time), 10 fully subsidised play care holiday spaces (full-time) and 6 fully subsidised nursery spaces (3 per setting) to enable us to provide this support.
In that way, we are committed not only to expanding the services we offer to the public but also to playing even more of a key role in supporting children and families within the community whose need is greatest. We seek always to ensure that those parents who pay full fees for services understand the nature and importance of this commitment. This includes the development of an Emergency Care Provision with a view to caring for the children of parents and/or the siblings of children who have experienced some adversity or setback which has resulted in them requiring immediate, short term, child care. We also provide heavily subsidised medium term and long term child care where it is felt that the welfare and the emotional and/or physical wellbeing of the child is at risk.
We offer a supported breakfast, after school, Weekend and Holiday Club for children with complex/special needs who are unable to access mainstream clubs. We currently have over 80 children actively attending the clubs, and we have provided care for over 120 children to date. We wrk alongside and supporting other organisations who also specialise in the care of children with complex/special needs.
We aim to keep the fees that we charge for our child care as low as possible, but at a level which ensures, first, that we can continue to deliver exceptional child care with highly qualified, experienced and committed staff within excellent facilities, and secondly, meet our charitable objects by apportioning some of the revenue received from fees, along with proceeds from specific fundraising activities.

Over 600 young people can be involved in the Award at any one time in Jersey and are able to participate through belonging to organised groups, schools or a national youth organisation. Young people can become involved in the Award from the age of 14 and are able to continue to work towards their goals until they are 25.

At Gold level only, a short stay away from home is also required. Young people undertake the activities in their own time and can tailor their activities whatever their interests and abilities. Participation in the Award is a valuable addition to any CV as it is recognised worldwide.

We will look to raise awareness of this family matter and the effect on the wider family to achieve the best possible outcome for parents and their children. If you are struggling, and need support, come along to one of our support groups or call our helpline, talk to families who have been there, and who have found solutions. We run peer support groups. We encourage positive behaviour from our group members, whether dealing with other services or the other parents. There are aftercare services for any families who have been through the separation process, whether this be a positive or negative outcome for them, we offer them this emotional support. We also offer a McKenzie friend service and can offer advice and first -hand experience through the family court process. We have a support helpline for guidance, a 1-1 mentor support system and there are no fees involved. We support any parent with any struggles because every child deserves both parents love. If we can help the family make these changes, it is the best outcome for everyone involved. Our priority is to support families, in regaining the relationships they deserve, with their family.

About Us
JAYF provides safe, affordable, and supervised accommodation to young people between the ages of 18 and 25 who might otherwise be homeless in Jersey. Although rough sleeping is the most visible form of homelessness, more young people experience ‘hidden homelessness.’ Pushed to the brink, they are sleeping on sofas of family and friends or living in cars with no stability or security. The demand for accommodation is at its highest ever due to the impact of COVID and the cost-of-living crisis on young people, including loss of employment, rising rent and family breakdown

JAYF provides a degree of stability and security as a stepping stone to enable residents to find employment and find more permanent accommodation; and holistic, person-centred, responsive, flexible, quality support, in a positive environment where issues connected to homelessness can be addressed. JAYF empowers residents to achieve their goals and get access to appropriate services.

Young Peoples Stories
“I would not be where I am today without JAYF and it has opened up doors for me that I didn’t know I needed, just by being a safe haven and halfway house on the road to personal improvement.”

“Since coming to the JAYF hostel. I have got my life back together. Yes, there are restrictions, but not too many. I feel both independent and supported.”

“Moving to JAYF was like having a weight lifted from me, I no longer had to worry about going home or a lack of privacy. I felt safe, happier and more confident and valued having someone available to talk to when I was feeling down or anxious.”

Get Help
JAYF believes a young person’s circumstances should not define their future and that given the right support, everyone can reach their potential.

If you are aged between 18 and 25 and are homeless or at risk of being homeless, please get in touch to discuss your needs and see how JAYF can help.

Letting The Future In (LTFI) is a therapeutic service for children and young people age 4 to 17, who have made a disclosure of sexual abuse. Many children and young people feel confused and upset by what has happened to them, so a wide range of approaches are used by the workers at the one to one sessions including talking, play and creative activities which gives children and young people an opportunity to explain how they are feeling.

Nationally 1 in 2 of us are now likely to receive a cancer diagnosis in our lifetimes. Being diagnosed at such a young age can throw lives off track more than at any other time and can feel particularly unjust.

We are a local charity consisting of a volunteering fundraising committee. We make sure young people in Jersey don’t face cancer alone. We do it by providing funds which enable world-class cancer care and support in our specialist unit at Southampton Hospital and in the Jersey Hospital.

We are there at every stage, from diagnosis through treatment and after treatment. We bring young people from Jersey together with other young people at weekend events where they can talk through anything that’s on their minds. Our most popular weekend is Find Your Sense of Tumour. Our online learning hub which we provide to schools in Jersey, offers lesson plans, factsheets, research, activities packs, posters and other resources to help teachers share accurate, up to date information and feel more confident discussing cancer.

In Jersey we aim to raise as much money as we can so that our teenagers in Jersey can receive the best treatment and age appropriate care. This helps improve the care and quality of life and makes the experience of treatment for cancer less traumatic for them and their families. We rely 100% on
voluntary donations to protect and grow these vital services for teenagers in Jersey.

It was an amazing opportunity to purchase such a large building in the very heart of St Helier and we’re passionate about it becoming a centre that the community can call home and from which we reach out to meet the needs of those around us.

We love to interact with the local community and run a Giveaway every week where clothing, books, toys and gifts are available free to those in need. A baby and toddler group is also open on Mondays in term-time.

Further plans are in place to develop other parts of Freedom Centre to include a soft play area and café where families can come and enjoy time together.

We provide communication to Guernsey, France and the UK. We can provide communications locally, nationally and if required worldwide especially when other forms of communication have failed and did for the Nepal disaster.

As emergencies are fortunately rare, we practice our skills by providing radio cover (on behalf of one of the user services) on all sorts of community events such as the Battle of Flowers, road rallies, marathons, fetes, walks and Air Display etc. This is all voluntary and is good training for members of the group. We also take part in training exercises, where voluntary and full-time emergency service groups practice working together in a simulated major incident.

We train local scouts, sea cadets and air cadets in the use of radio communications and cyber including the Radio Amateur Foundation license.

We also run the yearly Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) for the Scouts where they can talk to other scouts all over the world

To be able to provide these facilities we have a considerable amount of different radio equipment which all has to be provided, maintained and sometimes replaced.

This support is achieved by providing a trained team of RAYNET members, together with a clearly identified set of resources at its disposal.

Jersey RAYNET is looking for additional members/volunteers to join our Group. You do not have to have an amateur radio licence to join. We meet a few times a year and will provide training.

Thank you for your support.

Please note all donations are anonymous unless otherwise stated.

The Lions Club of Jersey is one of the thousands of Lions Clubs situated all over the world, known collectively as "Lions International". it is the largest service organisation in the world. There are over 30 members in the Lions Club of Jersey of differing ages and professions. The club was sponsored by the Lions Club of Southampton and St Malo and was chartered in 1963.

Living Hope exists to see lives changed, families restored and the community strengthened. The aim of Living Hope is to advise, assist and befriend local prisoners in HMP La Moye and then as they re-settle into the community, to help them live in freedom from their previous lifestyle and become contributing members of society. Living Hope believes that the greatest way to reduce crime and disorder in the Island is to help those who are involved in such behaviour change their lifestyle. Those with whom Living Hope support are often given little chance of developing a new lifestyle by society because of their past behaviour. Living Hope exists to give them that second chance, in a non-judgemental, future-focussed way without minimising the seriousness of their past.

The aim of the Safer St Helier Community Partnership (SSHCP) is to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in St Helier by following a few basic principles.

The Safer St Helier Community Partnership and the initiatives it implements is owned and run by members of the community.

SSHCP focuses on issues that are most relevant to the communities in St Helier and seeks to implement solutions that are both practical and sustainable for those communities.

Every initiative is based upon an in-depth study of the particular issue. Whether it is late-night transport or under-age drinking SSHCP will conduct its own research in order to understand the scale of the problem, understand the impact that it has on the local community and inform interventions.

Each initiative will be monitored and evaluated to ensure that it is working as intended and the outcomes are those the SSHCP are seeking to achieve.

SSHCP is very aware of the damage that so called 'Quick-wins' can do to local communities. Our initiatives are all sustainable long-term programmes aimed at making effective long-lasting changes.

To support, promote and advance the work and ministry of St George's Church in the Parish of St Ouen.

The Parish of St Helier, in the Channel Island of Jersey, was twinned with the German spa town, Bad Wurzach, in Baden-Württemberg, in the summer of 2002.

Through adversity of war in 1942, Hitler ordered the deportation to internment camps in Europe of British-born Channel Islanders and their families.

618 Islanders were detained in Bad Wurzach’s 18th century castle until they were liberated in April 1945. In the ensuing years, friendships forged across barbed wire endured.

Sadly, twelve individuals did not return and are interned in a well maintain cemetery in Bad -Wurzach

The reconciliation between former enemies is not just confined to cultural, working and sporting exchanges between the town and the parish. There have been other partnerships involving the Jersey Arts Centre, the Youtheatre, The National Trust for Jersey and Jersey Heritage.

A travel bursary has been established and students from Jersey and Bad Wurzach have worked in each other’s communities.

We maintain contact with former internees and family whom reside in various parts of the world.

We maintain a close relationship with the Red Cross who provided so much support during the period of internment.

St John Ambulance Jersey is the islands first aid charity, training approximately 5% of the island population each year in some form of first aid training. We provide first aid at public events, and train young people in first aid and good citizenship. The charity has community programmes operating in schools and provides a Carers Support Programme to those informal carers looking after a loved one or friend. Our assets and resources can be used by the States of Jersey (SoJ) in a major or critical incident to add resilience to the limited island resources. During the COVID-19 pandemic our fleet of four modern ambulances and support vehicles, our trained volunteers and our HQ building were made available to the SoJ and we performed several roles supporting the islands in the fight against COVID-19. Our volunteers staffed online ambulances, drove nurses to addresses to perform swab testing, provided PPE training to the hospital staff so that their own trainers could be used on other training and we performed antibody testing on key workers enabling them to continue working. In 2021 our volunteers continue to help with the vaccination programme at the centre and driving vaccinators to homes when people cannot travel. St John manages the post vaccination area where members of the public sit to be observed for acute anaphylaxis and provides first aid at the venue. St John also provides operational crews to frontline ambulances. We are a charity and rely on donations and from any surplus we generate from our commercial first aid courses which has been greatly effected by the social distancing requirements of the pandemic.

The Poppy Appeal enables the Royal British Legion to help those who are not in a position to help themselves, but the Legion is conscious that the need for such support is not diminishing but instead is steadily increasing as the years go by.

The purpose of the JICAS Trust (Jersey International Centre of Advanced Studies (JICAS) is:

(a) the advancement of education, primarily tertiary education and the promotion of research focusing on islands and island communities; and

(b) the advancement of citizenship or community development.

Whereas JICAS is a fee-paying institution, it seeks whereas possible to minimise the fees paid by students whilst still providing a first-class educational experience in order to fulfil its purpose. JICAS is dedicated to widening the access to the courses offered to those who would otherwise be unable to afford the fees.

JICAS currently provides post graduate degree course and study opportunities. JICAS currently offers one 100% bursary for fees and one 50% reduction in fees for a student. It is the aim of JICAS to offer a second annual 50% reduction in fees bursary for a student within the next three years. In addition to the 100% and 50% bursaries detailed above we aim to be able to offer an additional 6 partial-fee bursaries linked to research group activities in the next 3 years. Our ambition is to continuously increase the bursary provision over the next three (3) years to provide greater access to postgraduate degree courses and study opportunities. These bursaries are advertised locally and globally and via a number of different platforms.

Through research projects and fieldwork undertaken in Jersey (and overseas), JICAS is furthering the advancement of education about islands and through the recommendations from these educational research projects are helping to protect and improve island communities, both locally and internationally.

JICAS also provides a number of free outreach seminars and lectures annually all delivered by leading experts in their subject matter. These are available to all and many are delivered remotely. JICAS will continue to explore other ways in which it can provide public benefit and improve its accessibility to educational opportunities for the wider island community and engage with our community to benefit the wider community.

St Michael’s purpose is the advancement of education. St Michael’s is a fee-paying school but seeks to minimise fees but at a level that ensures it can deliver the best education possible for its pupils, including first rate facilities, in order to fulfil its purpose.

St Michael’s is committed to widening access to the school to those who would otherwise be unable to afford the fees. It currently offers at least three 100% bursaries each year for Years 7 to 9 inclusive, including assistance with uniform and school trips. This help enable children from primary schools to attend St Michael’s for three years and get the benefit of all the school has to offer before moving to Hautlieu School at Year 10. This has only been made possible by the development of a ‘Shell Year’ (Year 9) at St Michael’s. The Shell Year has been developed in conjunction with Hautlieu School which has advised on the syllabus to enable pupils to transfer easily into academic life there at Year 10. These bursaries are advertised widely, including in primary schools, in order to ensure that all eligible parents and pupils are able to access the competition for them on equal terms.

St Michael’s intends to develop additional bursaries in Years 7 to 9 funded by gifts from alumni. This will enable children, who would otherwise have no prospect of attending St Michael’s, to attend the school from Year 7 through to the Shell Year and on to Hautlieu. It is the School’s aim to have 9 fully funded and 6 50% bursaries in the top three years.

The school makes its Sports Hall, Dance Studio, Football and Cricket pitches and other outside areas available to a wide range of clubs and associations and members of the public. All our hirers, save for purely commercial organisations, pay a nominal rate and we offer holiday rates, at a further discount, and free use of our facilities.

The teaching is multi-sensory, allowing children of all abilities and learning styles to be able to make progress in their learning. Differentiation is integral to the curriculum and all children benefit from this targeted academic input. As well as providing a wide range of academic subjects, the school seeks to introduce each child to a large variety of sports, performing arts, activities and challenges enabling him or her to discover, through experience, hidden talents and preferences with a view to future specialisation unique to every child.

The school is embarking on a development project, involving the development of an all-weather AstroTurf hockey pitch and cricket pitch with a pavilion and parking. The school intends to make these facilities available to the local community along with the Sports Hall, which is already available for public use as described above.

The school will continue to explore other ways in which it can provide public benefit and improve its accessibility to a wider body of pupils.

a) To encourage close liaison between the parents, teachers and community and all others associated with the school. b) To support by all available means the educational policies of the School. c) Fundraising for the School in order to develop the opportunities and resources available to them.

The purpose of this trust shall be to benefit and protect endangered species, including both flora and fauna, by seeking to conserve, enhance, preserve and sustain wildlife and environmental habitats around the world but with a special focus on South America and Jersey, Channel Islands and to do all such other things as may be necessary or desirable in connection therewith.

Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust is an international charity working to save species from extinction. Headquartered at Jersey Zoo in the Channel Islands, Durrell’s vision is for a wilder, healthier more colourful world.

Established by author and conservationist, Gerald Durrell, in 1959, Durrell’s overall aim is for more diverse, beautiful and resilient natural landscapes in which species can thrive and people can enjoy a deeper connection with nature.

Through Durrell’s work in the wild and at the zoo, the charity reconnects people with nature and helps to drive the societal change needed to save and restore the natural world.

The Jersey Biodiversity Centre collects, manages and disseminates an extensive database of local wildlife species records both terrestrial and marine to enable informed decision making and safeguard Jersey’s natural environment.

The Centre strives to strengthen our connection with nature, improve understanding and knowledge of local wildlife through talks, courses and workshops and help islanders contribute to the protection of our natural world through participation in biological recording.

To promote the need for Conservation strategies, in order to preserve the Islands importance as a unique and key Marine Environment. On a voluntary basis, the groups' divers carry out the monitoring of underwater species and habitats fulfilling the requirements needed to support measures to safeguard the long-term future of the island's marine and human community. Approved methods for recording Biotopes are applied, ensuring all evidence withstands detailed political scrutiny. Jersey Marine Conservation although a Volunteer group, collects and processes data to a high professional level, supplying records, including images and video to National and Channel Islands Biodiversity databases. Without our surveys, there would be negligible sub-tidal information and therefore little to challenge environmentally sensitive proposals. The group's work has been instrumental in the setting up of protection zones, sustainable fishing practices and halting the wholesale destruction of seabed communities. The UK Marine Conservation Society supports and oversees the groups data collection and JMC operates closely with the Jersey Independent Centre of Advanced Studies.

Educating the community is a key aim and the group continue to develop learning programmes for schools and community groups based on our findings. Through our Touch Tank Workshops and media resources, we are helping the Islands population learn proactively about how to safeguard species in the Channel Island waters. We believe Education rather than legislation is the way forward, in preserving the Islands future as a healthy place to live.

We support groups in the clean-up of our islands remote marine sites.

Our monitoring programme seeks to support students of all ages, abilities and backgrounds in the acquisition of knowledge and methods to enable them to identify and record indicators of migration, marine population changes and the impact of the diverse environmental effects.

The charity aims to promote the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural marine environment by seeking to widen and deepen public understanding of the issues and challenges facing the oceans. This is in the particular context of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14, which is to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development. Particular activities include the promotion and celebration in Jersey of the annual World Oceans Day [June 8], running workshops for children and young people, including beachside, to raise awareness of Goal 14, and providing grants to ‘story tellers’ in Jersey who are able to promote the Goal’s message about sustainable use of the seas in a way that potentially resonates with audiences of all ages but especially the young. The Charity works to encourage people to enjoy the benefits of Jersey’s coastline environment. It seeks to work closely with related ‘marine’ charities and ensure that it maintains good networks with like-minded entities in other lands.

Paisaia European Landscape Foundation aims to preserve and restore traditional cultural landscapes in Europe, by supporting and maintaining the wealth of traditional land-use management techniques. Our work maintains the ecological functions and the integrity of these traditional landscapes and contributes to their protection and to the public recognition of their cultural value.

These cultural landscapes are part of Europe’s natural and cultural heritage, they are perfect examples of how we can sustainably use our land whilst maintaining healthy ecosystems, a high biodiversity and a carbon neutral impact. Examples include traditional olive groves in Italy, ancient woodlands and mountain pastures in Spain or cider apple orchards here in Jersey.

The formation of the McGugan Family Trust is intended to achieve this, and the Trust objects are:

• To retain and maintain the land in its natural state

• To encourage the conservation and study of the flora and fauna of the meadow

• To provide access to the land for educational and recreational purposes to young people (and at the discretion of the Trustees, who in the Trustees’ opinion have need of such facilities) including to the staff and pupils of Grouville Primary School and other groups and associations at the discretion of the Trustees.

Le Pre Arthur is an example of unimproved wet meadow with the potential diverse flora of common wet meadow species. The natural state of the meadow is currently compromised by years of neglect, absence of any management plan and the infra structure to deliver such a plan. The Trustees have now begun to address this by commissioning a rolling, three-year conservation management plan, including invasive species management, seasonal mowing and coppicing. This is vital to the continued improvement of the habitat and the gradual return of native wildlife and intended to meet the Trust object to retain and maintain the land in its natural state.

Improvement of the habitat will provide children and other community and youth groups with the opportunity to celebrate wild nature and provide hands-on opportunities for recreation and citizen science projects. This in turn, will assist both Grouville School and other youth and community groups on the journey to “Green Flag” as part of the States’ Eco-Schools Award programme. To encourage the conservation and study of the flora and fauna of the meadow, a number of activities and interventions are already in place and others are in the planning stages including submitting data to the Jersey Biodiversity Centre. As we build a database of wildlife records, we hope to show an increase in biomass and therefore make our contribution to nature conservation. The Trustees see this as a legacy project and an investment in a vision for conservation for the future and our young people. These efforts are intended to meet the Trust object to encourage the conservation and study of the flora and fauna of the meadow.

The McGugan Family members and Trustees are keen for the meadow to benefit the wider community for both recreation and education. Not all of our children and young people have access to a garden or accessible green space. As part of the plan to achieve community benefit, a number of groups have been approached and confirmed that they would wish to enjoy access to the meadow, support conservation measures and contribute data to the Jersey Biodiversity Centre. These include other primary schools with limited green space, Scout and Guide groups and Jersey MENCAP.

Accessibility is an important part of the future vision for the meadow. There is potential to create a circular route around the meadow and this has been designed to accommodate those with limited mobility and wheelchair users. A meadow survey has been undertaken and planning approval given, to create such a path together with several other educational and leisure facilities, specifically designed with accessibility in mind, including a ‘den’, a ‘fire circle’ and a bird hide. These initiatives are intended to meet the Trust objective of providing access for educational and recreational purposes to the staff and pupils of Grouville Primary School and other groups and associations.

History of the Brooke Hospital for Animals (“The Brooke”)

In 1930, our founder, Mrs Dorothy Brooke, travelled to Egypt's capital, Cairo, where she encountered thousands of ex-cavalry horses being used as beasts of burden on its streets. Many of them had seen service in the First World War. After the conflict ended in 1918 they had been sold by the British Army into a life of hard labour. Mrs Brooke was tormented by the memory of the pitiful creatures she saw. On her return to England she wrote a letter to the Morning Post, which later became the Daily Telegraph, exposing their plight and appealing for funds to help save them. The public was so moved they responded with the equivalent today of £20,000 to help end their suffering. Within three years, Mrs Brooke had set up a committee to help fund the purchase of 5,000 of these tragic animals. Most were old and in the final stages of collapse and had to be humanely destroyed but thanks to this remarkable woman they all ended their lives peacefully with love and dignity.

What The Brooke does

The Brooke’s methods are simple, inexpensive and can be learned and implemented by local people. These include building water troughs and shade shelters, educating owners in the welfare of their animals and supplying medical items to treat minor injuries. We don't prosecute, campaign or get involved in politics. Animals in work can enjoy companionship and social interaction with people and their own species. We believe that working animals should be rewarded with consideration, care and relief of suffering. Teaching kindness to animals is at the heart of what we do.

The Brooke’s vision is a world in which working horses, donkeys and mules are free from suffering.To make this vision a reality, the Brooke delivers practical programmes and provides support, advice and infrastructure to its global network of employees, partners and supporters.

Brooke staff and staff employed by Brooke-funded affiliates and partners provide veterinary and animal health services in order to relieve the suffering of working horses, donkeys and mules.

Thousands of training sessions take place every year so that community animal health workers can treat working horses, donkeys and mules locally.

We also undertake valuable, practical research to support our evidence-based approach and help communities to better help their own horses, donkeys and mules, by building skills.

On a global scale, we also seek to influence governments and other institutions to raise the profile of working equine animals on the policy and development agendas.

In addition we lead from the front, in the field of animal welfare, ensuring our rigorous standards and guidelines are applied in all the areas where we work.

The Jersey Supporters Group (“JSG”)

The objectives of the JSG are
(a) To raise awareness of the work of The Brooke Hospital for Animals
(“The Brooke”), a charity registered with the Charity Commission for
England and Wales.

(b) To support The Brooke by raising funds to help pay for the work that
it does in improving equine animal welfare in Africa, Asia, Latin
America and the Middle East.

The aim of the JSG is to raise £20,000 per year. It does this by organising fund-raising events that raise awareness of The Brooke's work. About half of funds raised come from unsolicited donations, demonstrating the value of keeping The Brooke' valuable work in the public eye. The Brooke ring-fences funds raised in Jersey and they are applied exclusively to the welfare of donkeys toiling in the coal-mines of north Pakistan.

Because of Covid-19 dates for 2022 fund raising events remain to be determined but will certainly include our popular Dress Sale of good quality used clothing, shoes and accessories.

Our aim

"To provide clean, sustainable water supplies to African communities"

WellWater is partnered with the international children's charity, Compassion UK in the first instance to drill a well outside the town of Koudougou,Burkino Faso.

WellWater's first project involves drilling a borehole, capping it with a robust wellhead piping water to a 2,000 litre storage tank.

This will provide fresh reliable water for the local school where children will receive hygiene education and washing facilities. Our target is to raise £17,400 for project Toega.

Our intention is to provide more such wells by acquiring a technical technical understanding and learning efficiencies in providing further water projects to rural african communities.

The Dementia Jersey team have a very clear vision, being to quite simply make Jersey a more dementia friendly island where all those affected by dementia are understood, welcomed and supported. 

Over the last year JAA have had to find new ways of supporting their friends and clients and now offer a blend of virtual and face to face support and activities that ranges from counselling and dementia advice, carers support and community activities such as their amazing musical memories and arts exploration groups.

The team provides education and awareness sessions to schools, community groups, local companies and organisations including the successful Dementia Friends programme.

Dementia Friends is the biggest ever initiative to change people’s perception of dementia and to date over 3 million people have attended awareness sessions worldwide. Focused 45 minute sessions aim to change the way people think, act and talk about dementia. Specially trained Dementia Champions deliver face to face awareness sessions to small groups, schools and in the workplace aimed to help people learn about what it is like to live with dementia and asks them to turn that understanding into action by helping others around them.

Pain Support Jersey helps people who suffer from persistent pain and runs gentle exercise sessions, vocational activities, educational talks, sea swimming sessions (summer and autumn months only), social events and walks.

Who can benefit? 
Anyone who has persistent pain which is defined as pain lasting for more than three months. It may stem from arthritis, surgery, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and various other causes. Many members have been to the Pain Management Centre at Overdale but this is not essential. People can just turn up at any of our sessions.

How can people benefit?
The charity organises indoor and outdoor gentle exercise classes, social events, vocational activities, walks, educational talks and hydrotherapy.

Exercise is so important for people in pain but is often the last thing they want to do because they are scared and believe it will increase their pain. But the right type of exercises can help significantly and the group offers suitable sessions run by pain specialist physiotherapists from the Pain Management Centre.

The social aspects of meetings are also really important. Members appreciate the company of other people who understand just what they are going through and value the chance to speak to each other and the team. Pain can make people isolated and the group offers opportunities to meet people and forge new friendships. Most importantly, meetings are positive and uplifting.

Where and when do activities happen?
Details of all our activities and events can be found on our website, Facebook page or Twitter feed.

Our vision is for there to be fewer strokes, and for people affected by stroke to get the help they need to live the best life they can.

Our core purpose is to be the trusted voice of stroke survivors and their families. We want to drive better outcomes in stroke prevention, treatment and lifelong support for everyone affected by stroke.

In Jersey our Stroke Recovery Service works closely with the island's Stroke and Speech and Language Therapy teams, providing a comprehensive long-term support service for stroke survivors, their families and carers. There is also a Supported Conversation group specifically designed to support people with communication disabilities caused by their stroke.

We have lots of helpful support material on our website www.stroke.co.uk, including links to health information and home-based exercises for stroke survivors.

We also have a national Helpline, which can be used by residents of Jersey who need help and support – the number is 0303 3033 100.

Tiny Seeds is a charity dedicated to supporting people in Jersey who are experiencing infertility or who need the help of fertility treatments to conceive. Through the provision of our monthly support meetings, regular meetings to discuss more specific areas of infertility and a private online support group we aim to provide practical and emotional support while helping people to know that they are not alone during what can be a very isolating time in their lives.

We have an established link with the Government of Jersey Health Service in order to be the voice for fertility service users with regard to treatments, services and funding provided. Infertility is classed as a disease by the World Health Organisation, yet sadly there is often a stigma and taboo that surrounds it. This is something we aim to reduce through our work by raising greater awareness of what living with infertility is really like and to offer advice on how to best support those who are going through it, whether that is a friend, family member or within the workplace.

YouMatter works with young people to build their self-esteem and help them to develop an understanding of their true value and worth. We run workshops with thousands of young people in Jersey every year to inspire them to make healthy and positive choices about their lives and relationships.

During these times of school closure and lockdown, we are adapting the way we do things! We have been in touch with all secondary schools and the 9 primary schools we have worked with so far to find out how we can best support their PSHE programmes. The YouMatter team is keen to be flexible and ready to adapt further as the situation changes. We are passionate about continuing to meet the needs of children, young people and parents as best we can during these challenging times, albeit in different ways.

Usually, we provide high-quality, interactive and engaging workshops for young people in schools, youth clubs and other community settings. We also provide sessions for parents and training for professionals.

Currently, we are producing video lessons to share with schools, focusing on our key areas of work. We are also producing videos and lots of useful content to share on our social media platforms for parents, children and young people.

We have 9 key areas of work:

Self-Esteem and Confidence
Positive Relationships
Decision-making Around Sex
Sexually Transmitted Infections, including HIV and AIDS
Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) Prevention
Sexting and Staying Safe Online
The Impact and Effects of Pornography

We also offer one-to-one and small-group work for young people identified as needing some additional support with any of the issues covered by our key areas of work. This area of our work is currently suspended but we hope to reopen our books in September 2021.
