Brightly is a small Jersey charity that provides support to children and young people from birth to 25 years who are in residential care, foster care, care leavers or those not in care but whose home life or particular circumstances may not provide them with the support they need to grow up well.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Brightly is a small local charity that supports up to 400 children and young people each year from new-born to 25 years of age, who are under the care of Children's Social Services, as well as others who are in need.

These children and young people are either living in care, leaving care, or in foster care. For many, their life has been fractured. Family life never began or has been severely interrupted. They can be lonely and afraid.

The objective of the charity is to provide them with some treasured memories that are not provided by the 'Corporate Parent' (The Government of Jersey). This may be something as simple as a toy or a new pair of trainers, nursery fees, driving lessons, and covering the cost of doctor or dentist bills. It could be providing a modest grant for furnishings for a care-experienced young person, who may face moving out of care alone without any family support. It might be
something that enables a child to pursue a hobby like a camera or a bike.

All monies raised by Brightly either stay in Jersey for the benefit of Island residents or, in cases where local children and young people must be cared for off-island, may be made available to support them whilst away.
