Following an increase in demand for Citizens Advice Jersey’s debt collection service, the grant is being used over three years for the sustainable increase of specialist Money Advisors, to improve access to the Citizens Advice debt service and reduce waiting times.

They help women to re-build their lives and confidence and take care of their children by facilitating access to counselling and selfdevelopment support. The funding awarded has also helped to sustain Jersey Women’s Refuge’s outreach services and partnership working to raise awareness of the causes and nature of domestic abuse, which in turn helps prevent abusive relationships and to increase the reporting incidents.

Case Study 1

Family First

Amount: £10,000

Project: Community grant

Provide a more flexible approach to emergency funding for individuals and families living in financial hardship or a specific need following a diagnosis of a life-limiting condition.

Impact

Needing urgent or sustained treatment abroad is a fact of Island life and a stressful scenario for anyone needing treatment, but when children are involved families can be faced with almost impossible decisions driven by financial, employment or simple logistics. The support provided by Family First lessens the stress and worry faced by families in the immediate term by arranging things like the booking of travel and accommodation and liaising with employers to arrange for individuals to be signed off work. Over the longer-term, it is hoped that the child(ren) of the families supported are able to thrive and reach their full potential.

Case Study 2 Enable Jersey

As part of the new service, Enable Jersey offers advice on what the most suitable options available to customers are.

Impact

The project is providing fast access to affordable, suitable equipment, which in turn reduces stress and financial pressure on families and Island health services.

APPLIED SCIENCE AND RESEARCH FUND CASE STUDY JERSEY INTERNATIONAL CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDIES (JICAS)

Amount: £15,000

Project: Jersey Research Repository

A pioneering and innovative digital project in Jersey that will bring all research related to Jersey online into one ‘open access’ website called the ‘Jersey Research Repository’.

Aim

There are huge gaps in our research, data and knowledge about Jersey. We do not have the dedicated funding or resources that exist in places like the European Union, United Kingdom and United States of America. However, there is a significant expanse of Jersey-related research that does exist, and it is often a case of knowing where to find it and who to ask for it. Much still exists offline in journals still to be digitised, in formats that are often inaccessible to a layperson. This is where the new ‘Jersey Research Repository’ will step in, scheduled to launch in 2023. The Research Repository will be an easy-to-navigate website that will house Jersey-related research. As an ‘open access’ website, anyone will be able to use the site for free.

The project is primarily targeted on the long-term protection of Plecotus Austriacus, their foraging grounds and roosts, however there are other analogous long-term gains that are envisaged for both the organisation and for the wider community. The grant funding will enable the organisation to utilise existing specialist skills as well as gaining new ones.
