Our Mission

To educate, inspire and create through music with:
- school workshops for children from Mont A L'Abbe to St Martin's school;
- therapeutic musical performances in the hospital, hospice and care homes;
- opportunities to hear live music in Jersey at the Liberation Festival or the Jersey Chamber Orchestra concerts; and
- platforms for local artists to perform at our events such as Jersey Sings, or the Armistice Day concert.

We always partner together with other charities to maximise the benefits of our work.  

Our purpose built facility may only cater for a limited number of full time residents, but through our additional Day Care, Aquatherapy & Physiotherapy services we help over 60 individuals every week manage and improve their condition.

Over the 40 years we have been operating our support staff have helped many hundreds of people with complex conditions to get through some extremely challenging times, their dedication and commitment considerably benefits those we care for and creates the welcoming place our residents call home.

The Jersey Cheshire Home is affiliated to Leonard Cheshire International, which supports many projects running in Cheshire organisations across 54 countries worldwide.  Within the UK, Leonard Cheshire Disability has over 100 care homes, helping thousands of people and their carers through a wide range of services. We would like to reassure our donors that all funds raised for Jersey Cheshire Home stay at Jersey Cheshire Home.
