Nominated by: Angela Francey
A CHARITY which helps Islanders with disabilities navigate everyday challenges and ensures their voices are heard has been nominated for the Diversity and Inclusion Champion of the Year award.
Nominator Angela Francey praised Enable Jersey for going “above and beyond” to support people living with a wide range of disabilities.
Ms Francey said the charity had helped people who previously felt isolated to feel included and involved, giving them a voice in how they manage everyday challenges.
She added that Enable Jersey provide practical support for those who needed additional help, including accompanying people on visits to Social Security.
Ms Francey said disabled Islanders often feel isolated when dealing with everyday tasks alongside physical and mental challenges, but Enable Jersey provides a “safe environment where all have a voice in a confidential surrounding from the minute they set foot in the building”.
Describing them as a “dream team”, Ms Francey gave a special mention to George, Sally and Danielle, members of the charity’s Voice Team, who she says regularly find “solutions to problems” that don’t yet exist.
