The first JET Jaunt, sponsored by CSC, has raised a fantastic £20,800! All of this will support Islanders who have a disability or long-term health condition in the workplace. At the awards night tonight, we also revealed the destination for the JET Jaunt 2025... Prague! Who's coming? Congratulations to all the winners. It was great fun hearing all the travellers' tales this evening. Lovely to see the camaraderie between them. Thanks also to Ports of Jersey, All Island Media and Branca Goddard.

Acorn in Trinity provides work and training opportunities for Islanders who have a disability or long-term health condition. Open Mon-Sat 10 am-3.30 pm. #BusinessForGood Steve Pearce Caroline Spencer #PumpkinPatch #AutumnHarvest

He did it! Congratulations to Paul ‘Bernie’ Byrne who completed the Standard Chartered Jersey Marathon at the weekend. He even got himself a Personal Best in a time of 5 hr 54 min 56 sec. Bernie has been raising money for us and Acorn Enterprises, where his son Jude is a client. He has raised £675 so far and his SportsGiving page is still open, and there are buckets at the tills at Acorn Reuse. Thanks to everyone who has donated.
