Throughout 2021 we are raising money for our four chosen charities, which are:    

• Jersey Animal Shelter
      
• Jersey Hospice Care
      
• Jersey Women’s Refuge
      
• Mind, Jersey

We recognise that this is a particularly tough time for the island’s charity sector and, as an organisation, we want to do all we can to support these local causes and others.

Why Jersey Women’s Refuge? 

Jersey Women’s Refuge is the only independent charity on the island providing specialist support and safe accommodation for women and children who are victims of domestic abuse.

Domestic Violence is any form of physical, emotional, sexual or financial abuse which is used to gain power and control over the other person in an intimate relationship. 

Women often say emotional abuse is worse than physical abuse as it leaves no visible scars, is difficult to prove and can be very damaging. Children living with domestic violence can also suffer in a variety of ways; either by witnessing violence itself, by being used as emotional pawns or indirectly by the stress suffered by their mother.

The Women’s Refuge provides a 24-hour, confidential service, which offers practical and emotional support to women and children suffering from abuse.

How you can help 

We will host different activities throughout 2021 where we will be asking staff to donate what they can to Jersey Women’s Refuge.
