Twinning for Impact

The Grace Crocker Foundation

The Grace Crocker Family Support Foundation (GCF) is a local charity that was founded in 2011 by Sara and Nigel Crocker in memory of their daughter Grace. It supports Jersey families with sick children, desperately needing treatment in the UK. During the current COVID-19 crisis, GCF has broadened its objectives to assist families of sick children in Jersey who are experiencing hardship. For more information, please email Family First. The Family First service was established by GCF in collaboration with The Jersey Community Partnership.

Jersey Finance recently announced a three-year strategic partnership with the Foundation. The partnership forms part of the Jersey Community Partnership’s ‘Twinning for Impact: Take the Pledge’ campaign, which aims to encourage firms to ‘twin’ with local charities to support them with human as well as financial resources.

Through the new strategic partnership, Jersey Finance will be providing support to GCF through the wide range of practical skills, knowledge and expertise of its staff, many of whom will assist on a voluntary basis with the ongoing activities of the foundation.

The Jersey Employment Trust

The Jersey Employment Trust (JET) was formed in 2002, with the aim of making employment and vocational training more accessible to people with disabilities.

In February 2023, Jersey Finance started a new partnership with JET in a co-ordinating role, to help raise awareness about the charity and to offer Jersey financial services firms an opportunity to work with JET and its clients.

Our Members tell us that having continued access to a varied talent pool helps to create a diverse cultural environment that can foster creativity and innovation. We hope our partnership with JET encourages the finance industry to further engage in broader discussions around employment strategies concerning accessibility, diversity, equity, and inclusivity on-Island. These are essential factors when considering our Island’s future workforce and sustainable practices.
