More families in Jersey are needing charitable help tonight | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Variety, a local children's charity, has given out ?30,000 worth | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
of vouchers to help those struggling to afford every day essentials | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
Getting ready to go back to school tomorrow. | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
The summer holidays have come to an end for these children, so now | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
A school jumper at ?13.50 doesn't sounds that much. | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
But add a pair of trousers to that, a couple of shirts and a PE kit | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
And for some families in Jersey, it's a struggle to afford. | :00:46. | :00:54. | |
The Variety Club run a voucher system with shops to help | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
This year they've had more requests for support costing thousand | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Just under 30,000 for this year. It will soon be approaching 40. It is | :01:01. | :01:27. | |
an increase on last year. We fund raise all year round and we have to | :01:28. | :01:28. | |
work harder and harder. This money has helped nearly 90 | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
families with every day essentials like food and clothes, | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
including school uniform. It is busier at this time of year | :01:35. | :01:47. | |
and we have had up to 40 people with vouchers. For the rest of the year, | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
five a month. Chris owns a uniform shop | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
and with uniforms costing between 50 and ?100, parents are | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
pleased there is support on offer. The kids are just starting and they | :01:56. | :02:06. | |
have to get everything here. It is good if you have flexibility and it | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
doesn't have to be expensive and you can have a cheaper option. | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
So while wearing school uniforms may make children look equal, hopefully | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
the financial support will help even out the costs for families too. | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Jersey's Hospice will be able to care | :02:23. | :02:23. | |
for islanders with any life`ending illness in future, expanding | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
its services from only dealing with Motor Neurone Disease and cancers. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
The health department is giving the organisation more than ?800,000 | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
this year, and more next year, to pay towards the work. | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
The money will be used to give care to people at the Hospice, | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
at the hospital, and even in their own homes. | :02:41. | :02:49. | |
At this difficult stage of anyone's life, having the right care, support | :02:50. | :03:00. | |
not only for the family but for the patient, to make sure it is pain | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
controlled, it is where they wish to be. With that working well with | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
Jersey Hospice care, the most important thing is all patients, | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
whatever their condition, when they get to that difficult spade `` | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
stage, they get the support. Jersey's government's allocating | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
an extra ?150,000 towards the transition of Jersey Tourism to | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
the group Visit Jersey. Most of the money, ?90,000, | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
will be spent on consultants' fees. Earlier this year it was suggested | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
that Jersey Tourism should become A day | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
after a new race discrimination law came into force in Jersey, | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
there are calls in Guernsey tonight The new rules | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
in Jersey protect islanders from intolerance towards skin | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
colour, nationality, and ethnicity. Jen Smith's been to meet to one | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
Guernsey woman who was made to feel uncomfortable and out of place | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
when she first moved to the island. Ayo didn't travel too far | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
when she first moved to Guernsey 12 The finance worker came from London | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
to be with her husband who's Being darker than everybody else, I | :04:02. | :04:18. | |
did stick out a bit more and I found people stared a bit. I didn't like | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
it because I like to blend in. It was a bit of a shock to the system. | :04:24. | :04:32. | |
Now Jersey's brought in a race discrimination law | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
there's increasing pressure in Guernsey to do the same. | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
Guernsey politician Deputy Chris Green wants the States | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
It is good practice to have this as part of our law and it is sending a | :04:39. | :04:52. | |
clear message to say Guernsey is a society that promotes opportunity | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
for everybody in society. It is wrong in this day and age that | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
employers, theoretically, are allowed to discriminate against the | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
grounds of race or nationality. But while there aren't plans | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
in Guernsey for a race law, the Chief Minister says it's not | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
being ignored. It is part of the social ecology | :05:12. | :05:21. | |
groups work stream but we have decided that disability and | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
inclusion which affect a large amount of people in Guernsey is more | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
important at this moment. We are concentrating on that. | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
Ayo is no longer stared at in the street. | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
She believes Guernsey's a tolerant place. | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
It's just the law that's yet to catch up. | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
Work to repair one of Guernsey's main sea walls should be completed | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
This was the hole that was left following the winter storms. | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
But as you can see the scene is very different today. | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
