Give a child their best start in life
We’re making a difference to children’s lives
Help children when it matters most
A local Jersey charity helping children and families, when it matters most.
80% of our brain development occurs by the age of three years. It is crucial that children have their best start in life. Our focus is on making this happen for every child in Jersey.
One in four children are living in relative poverty right now in Jersey. Donate to JCCT to help children access our programmes and have their best start in life. Our charity is quick to realise and respond to the changing and growing needs of children and their families.

You guys are honestly the best. I am still speechless as to the amazing support you all provide for families – we feel very lucky to have JCCT in our lives – thank you.
A volunteer’s story
It was an absolute pleasure to be involved in the great work JCCT are doing . To be involved, even in a small way, was a very rewarding experience.
