Fundraising for Acorn Reuse
Story
Next Sunday I will be running the Virtual London Marathon… DRESSED AS A SQUIRREL! The picture is only of the head! I will be wearing the full suit!
This is in order to raise funds for Acorn and JET (Jersey Employment Trust).
For those of you who don’t know, my mum passed away 3 years ago but prior to this she was an integral part of the JET Team. She was an outspoken advocate for believing that no matter what cards life dealt you, you should be given the same opportunities as everyone else. Probably because my brother, Matthew, has a learning disability and she saw the struggles he has been going through his entire life to be treated as an equal.
Jersey Employment Trust (JET) provides a comprehensive and bespoke employment and vocational training service to assist people with disabilities and long-term health conditions to achieve their employment goals.
Acorn is a social enterprise which provides employment training and support for people with a range of disabilities and enduring health conditions, who might otherwise struggle to find employment in the open labour market. Acorn also run Acorn Reuse, Acorn Nursery and the Acorn Wood shack.
The training and placements that JET/ Acorn provide give people, like my brother, a chance to integrate into a work environment. It allows them to build up people and practical skills and to be part of a team.
