Attendees at this year’s Jersey Funds Association (JFA) Annual Dinner have helped raise a significant sum in aid of Kezia’s Fund as part of its ongoing commitment to support the local charity.
More than 400 people from across the industry attended this year’s Dinner, held at the Trinity Showground on 28th June, between them helping to raise £14,420 towards Kezia’s Fund, thanks to a raffle held during the evening.
The fundraiser forms part of a three-year commitment on behalf of the JFA to support Kezia’s Fund, which is managed by the Jersey Community Foundation. The latest effort means that the JFA has helped raise almost £27,000 for the charity over the past two years, whilst it will also be helping at the Run for Kezia event in September this year and encouraging its members to participate.
Kezia’s Fund aims to support mental health among children and young people aged 5 to 25 and their families in Jersey; and provides grants and support to organisations that work to improve children and young people’s mental wellbeing.
Michael Johnson, JFA Chair, said:
“I’m really pleased that the generosity of those who attended our Dinner this year have helped once again to raise such a good sum to support the work undertaken through Kezia’s Fund. These efforts form part of our wider commitment on behalf of the JFA to support the charity and the vital, amazing work it undertakes.”
Anna Terry, CEO of Jersey Community Foundation, added:
“The JFA has made a very welcome commitment to help continue the legacy of Kezia's Fund, including through this latest fundraising effort, and we are extremely grateful to all those who helped raise such a fantastic total once again this year. These substantial funds will go towards helping to address the critically important and prevalent issue of children and young people’s mental health in Jersey.”
