We aim to help families who need to spend time in the UK with a sick child receiving hospital treatment.
About us
The Grace Crocker Family Support Foundation was set up in January 2011, in memory of Grace Crocker, who grew her angel wings aged 11 weeks. Grace was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (A congenital heart disorder in which the left side of the heart, particularly the left ventricle, is underdeveloped. The first part of the aorta may also be abnormal. Affected babies usually develop severe heart failure within the first few days of life), and had open-heart surgery when she was just 5 days old. Her family lived in Jersey, and so they had to move to Southampton for three months whilst Grace recovered from her surgery, including her brother and sister as well as her mum and dad. She met lots of friends and family when she was allowed back home to Jersey, and in the month that she was home, she touched so many people’s lives. As a result of our own experience, we set up this charity with the support of friends and family, with the aim to help other families from Jersey who need to spend time in the UK whilst their child receives medical treatment in a hospital. It is worrying enough when your child is sick, without being faced with additional financial worries, and so we would love to help families in some way, by providing them with some financial assistance and emotional support too. We rely on fund-raising and donations, and any support is greatly appreciated. If you need any help or support get in touch through the Contact Us page on our website.

One of our Directors, Amanda Reilly, recently attended Haute Vallée School’s end of term assembly to celebrate the students' fundraising efforts. They raised over £7,000 for a number of local charities and donated £1,569.16 to the Grace Crocker Family Support Foundation. Amanda was delighted to receive the cheque on behalf of our charity and was fascinated to hear how the students have worked together to achieve such fantastic results (also channelling some teamwork tips from none other than Manchester City). Our charity has already supported 36 families with sick children this year, and the money raised by the students at Haute Vallée School will be used to assist even more families. On behalf of everyone we have helped so far, and those we will help in the future, thank you so much!

What a fantastic morning we all had yesterday at our Family Fun Run, held in conjunction with Jersey Family First Ltd. Thanks to everyone who turned up to participate in the run and support our special charity. We would also like to thank our partners, without whom this event would not have been possible. Firstly, our sponsors, School of International Financial Services (SIFS), who even sent two of their best runners! Funktion Fitness (Nick and Scott) for the warm-up; Victoria College Jersey for providing a fabulous array of delicious cakes after the run; LAB-6 for our new t-shirts and hoodies; Image Matters for our gorgeous new branding; and Branded.je for our stylish new gazebo, merch and medals. We look forward to seeing you all next year!

Last Thursday, we hosted our Annual Golf Day at Les Ormes. We are delighted to launch a video of that day which is always brilliantly supported by the many businesses whose players take part, our sponsors, including Integritas Wealth Partners and those who give generously to our raffle. Thanks to Image Matters for producing this video. We love it! #GolfDay #Charity #Fundraising #Community

We were so lucky to dodge the rain for our Annual Golf Day at Les Ormes today! There were definitely mixed fortunes out there on the course but a great day was had by all and we’ve raised vital funds to help families with sick children. Thanks to our sponsors, supporters, players and organisers, together with the team at Les Ormes, for making it such a success! #CharityGolfDay #Fundraising #Support

We were so excited to receive our new eco-friendly merch, including a drawstring bag made from recycled plastic and a sticky note pad with a case made from seeded paper, which can be planted when it's empty. We will be showcasing all of this in our new gazebo at the Family Fun Run on Sunday 30 June. A big thank you to Branded.je for sourcing these items for us and for providing such an impeccable service! #Merch #EcoFriendly #Teamwork
