The causes championed by the Club mean a great deal to us.
Our advocacy focus
Since 2019 the Club has provided a grant to the Highlands Foundation to support girls studying STEM subjects.
The girls have the opportunity to apply each academic year with the support of their tutors. Grants have been awarded to help purchase: laptops, steel toe capped boots, tools and extra courses.
The “No More Taboo Period Campaign” began in 2019 by collecting period products for The Red Box Project. This Project provided free sanitary products in schools.
Our Campaign developed a focus on sustainable period products. We joined forces with the Jersey Reuse Revolution in 2021 to provide every Year 6 girl in the Island a free washable pad and bag.
Periods have been a taboo subject for far too long. We want to help de-stigmatise periods and hope this Campaign will initiate conversations with the girls friends and families.
An initiative driven by Club members, Carers Jersey was founded in 1984 to provide a forum to represent carers issues.
The Club supports a “Re-charger Day” on a Sunday in October. The carers’ have a day of being looked after and the opportunity to meet others with the same challenges.
The United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls is observed annually on 25th November.
The day marks the beginning of the 16v Days of Activism Campaign which ends on 10th December, Human Rights Day. The Club organises a march through St Helier on the Saturday nearest to 25th November.
