Islanders and businesses have come together to help the 30 households displaced from around the
Haut du Mont area. Following the tragic incident, the Island community has come together to
support those impacted by providing everyday essential items and ensuring access to the
wellbeing services they may need while they are away from their own homes, living in different
accommodation. The need has been even more pressing due to the countdown to the festive
period.
Among many other organisations and individual Islanders who have provided support, including
contributing to the Bailiff’s Island Appeal, the Jersey Chamber of Commerce and the Institute of
Directors rallied their business members to donate and help.
The Government of Jersey and Andium Homes have coordinated support for the displaced families
and individuals, including alternative housing, financial help, the redirection of post, GP care,
emotional wellbeing services and travel.
Deputy Kirsten Morel, Deputy Chief Minister, said. “We are overwhelmed by and grateful for the
many offers of help from the community. Everyone’s immediate and generous response will help to
make life for these Islanders a little easier, especially during Christmas. The support complements
the broader assistance they are already receiving from the Government of Jersey and Andium
Homes.
“I wholeheartedly applaud this latest display of our Island’s community spirit and I would like to say
a big thank you to everyone for their kindness.”
Businesses wishing to support can contact Customer and Local Services and Islanders can
contribute to the Bailiff’s Appeal until Friday 23 December by going to gov.je/JerseyTogether
