Vision
To facilitate care for the poor of Jersey; to bring help to the sick and hurting; comfort to the distressed; hope to the homeless and addicted; and direction to the lost.

 

The Bible Society

Set up in 1804, the Society's Patron is HM The Queen and its President is the Bishop of London, Dr Richard Chartres. We make Scriptures available where there are none. We work to help the church engage with the Bible more effectively. And we endeavour - through the arts, education, media and politics - to make the Bible available, accessible and credible in our culture.

The Leprosy Mission

 

The Leprosy Mission (TLM) is an international Christian organisation which helps people affected by leprosy. Founded in 1874, The Leprosy Mission is the oldest and largest leprosy-focused organisation in the world today.
We want to see a leprosy-free world. Our vision is for ‘leprosy defeated, lives transformed’. This is why our main focus is on leprosy work and not other areas of healthcare. However, our work often includes other marginalised people in society, those with severe disabilities or those living in extreme poverty.

 

Street Pastors

Street Pastors is an inter-denominational Church response to urban issues engaging with people on the streets to offer reassurance, safety and support.
It was pioneered in London in January 2003 and has seen some remarkable results, including drops in crime in areas where teams have been working. There are now over 200 teams around Great Britain.
Street Pastors have been caring, listening, and helping on the streets of St Helier since November 2009.
A street pastor is a Christian who cares about his/her community. We patrol the streets of St Helier between 11pm and 3am every Saturday night to listen, care, and help. We give out bottles of water and flip-flops and take care of anyone who is in need of assistance or support.

Jersey Women's Refuge

The Jersey Women’s Refuge was founded in 1988, with support from Soroptimists International of Jersey, to provide a safe place for women and children to go who are victims of domestic abuse.

As the only independent domestic violence charity in Jersey, the Women’s Refuge provides a 24-hour, confidential service, which offers practical and emotional support to women and children suffering from abuse.
The Refuge employs five residential support workers and two outreach support workers who are trained and experienced in supporting women and children who have experienced abuse. Some of our support staff are qualified as Domestic Abuse Prevention Advocates which is a nationally recognised qualification for professionals working with victims of domestic abuse.
