Clic Sargent Jersey

Welcome to Clic Sargent Jersey

CLIC Sargent (Jersey) aims to ensure that every Jersey family who has a child or young person with cancer receives the support they need.  We retain all the money we raise in the Island so that it can be spent solely on Jersey children and their families.

CLIC Sargent (Jersey) is an independent, local charity formed to ensure that every child and young person with cancer and their family receive the support they need.  We offer financial and emotional support to anyone living on the Island who is diagnosed before their 21st birthday.  We work alongside the multi-disciplinary team at the hospital and with other agencies to achieve this.  We respond to the needs of the sick child and their family at a difficult and stressful time.

About Us

CLIC Sargent (Jersey) is an independent, local charity formed to ensure that every child and young person with cancer and their family receive the support they need.  We offer financial and emotional support to anyone living on the Island who is diagnosed before their 21st birthday.  We work alongside the multi-disciplinary team at the hospital and with other agencies to achieve this.  We respond to the needs of the sick child and their family at a difficult and stressful time.

Formed in Jersey in 1974 as the Malcolm Sargent Fund, when the parent charity merged with CLIC (Cancer & Leukaemia in Childhood) in 2005, we became CLIC Sargent (Jersey).

CLIC Sargent (Jersey) although an independent local charity we maintain links to CLIC Sargent (Britain’s leading children’s cancer charity) we retain all of the money that is raised in the island so that it can be spent solely on Jersey children and their families.

We receive no public funding and rely solely on donations and fundraising to allow us to help children and young people with cancer and leukaemia. We have no buildings nor do we employ any staff and all our committee members are volunteers so our annual overheads are minimal.

How we can help

Practical Ways We Can Help Jersey Families

Having cancer is not only emotionally distressing but it is also financially expensive. Our volunteer caseworkers visit local families and discuss with them how best we can help in their specific circumstances.  There are many ways CLIC Sargent (Jersey) helps local families below are just a few examples.

Accommodation:  We can assist with accommodation while undergoing treatment in the UK together with subsistence payments to help with the additional cost of living expenses while away from home.

Household Bills:  Often income may be seriously affected by one parent having to give up work. We can help with household bills and replacement of essential household equipment.

Family Support:  We listen to family members, assess their needs and provide practical support. We also act as a point of contact and link between different charities and agencies.

Telephone Expenses:  Whilst children are away receiving treatment, they and their parents can feel isolated. It is important that they can phone family and friends to receive support and comfort.

Doctors Fees:  We can help with doctors fees whether there is a need for home visit or to the surgery.

Fuel Bills:  Keeping warm is important and heating will need to be on for longer periods whilst the child spends more time at home, as they may be too unwell to be at school.

Air Fares:  Often only one parent is paid for by Jersey Hospital to accompany the child for appointments and treatment. We help with fares for additional family members as well as taxis and transport in the UK.
