What is Jersey Cares?
We are an independent organisation. We listen to you and make sure the people who make decisions about your life listen to what matters to you. You are our boss and we will only share what you want us to. This is called ‘advocacy’.
You might live on-island or off-island, be aged seven or seventy. It doesn’t matter, we can help you.
What do you mean by 'experience of care'?
Foster care
Residential care
Supported accommodation
‘Secure’ care
Mums and/or dads but have a social worker
Extended family or friends
How can Jersey Cares help?
We can help in many different ways:
Listening to what matters to you, we make sure you know your rights, that you are heard and that people respond.
Listening to what you like, we organise fun activities and provide ways for people in the community to help.
Listening to what you want to change, we create opportunities to drive those changes. These are creative and fun!
Having a voice: that’s what changes things.
Who We Are
I like what you do because you are really independent.
