We are a local children’s charity, and we are celebrating our 100th anniversary this year. We provide support to children and young people from birth to 25 years living in care, leaving care or who are experiencing adversity.

These children and young people are either: -

? living in residential care, foster care or with extended family
? have been in care and moving towards independence (care-experienced)
? acknowledged as being on the edge of care, being on the Child Protection Register, being
? identified as a Child in Need, or the child of care-experienced parent/s.
? on an Early Help Plan
? children of care-experienced parents

Our charity is often described as the ‘bank of Mum and Dad’, when the parent/s can’t be there, for whatever reason, to help.

We seek to create positive experiences and opportunities for children and young people to help them move towards independence.

We exist to enrich the lives of vulnerable children and young people by supporting them through difficult times, identifying and addressing their unmet needs, and thereby restoring their self-confidence and trust in those around them as they mature and grow.

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 (covered by our remit) are cared for off-island.
