The Association of Jersey Charities (AJC) held this event to boost engagement between charities and potential election candidates for the 2026 general election. It provided an early opportunity for charities to interact with potential candidates and provide an insight into the value of charities to Jersey, the challenges charities are facing, and the opportunities for charities and Government to work in partnership.

At this event, the AJC also shared a pledge containing five high-level commitments the AJC would like candidates to consider supporting, aimed at helping to ensure that charities are valued, supported, and effectively utilised in delivering positive outcomes for Islanders.
