💡The Jersey Community Relations Trust was established 20 years ago to ‘eliminate discrimination on any ground…by promoting good relations between all members of society, and seeking to achieve equality of treatment and opportunity within our community’.
This aspiration remains as relevant and important as ever to creating a harmonious, healthy and happy island community. And just as challenging.
Our Board of Trustees is entirely voluntary and our funding small, but I am really proud of the progress we have made in the last 18 months to build bridges with minority communities and community partners in order to understand the diverse experiences of life in Jersey - especially from those whose voices are not usually heard - and to positively influence progress and inclusion.
And we are really excited about the opportunities we have to make a real and lasting difference in the community over the next 18 months through the various projects on our agenda.
🙌In our report, we acknowledge and celebrate some of the excellent work that is happening on our island to eliminate discrimination and enable inclusion.
⚠️But we fire some warning shots too - particularly around the poverty gap, inequality & inequity, including at its worst degree rascism, experienced by some in our migrant communities, and the need to safeguard our island against the rising tide of global populism and far right influences.
💛The JCRT is a safe space for anyone who would like to share their story and experiences of inclusion in Jersey and we would love to hear from you, as well as community groups who share our aims and may like to explore opportunities to partner with us.
We welcome feedback on our Annual Review.

We have so many people to thank for supporting us this past year, for their time and expertise as well as endless inpiration and commitment.
We have bigger aspirations for the year ahead, and no doubt, bigger, more complex challenges to overcome too. Without the commitment of our wonderful trustees and volunteers, we know this would be impossible. So, thank you!
💛At the heart of what we do, it is our unwavering mission to promote an inclusive society where everyone can achieve their potential. 👧🏻👩🦱👨🏼🙋🏾♀️
