More than 50 vulnerable islanders have been given devices to help them stay connected over the festive season in Jersey.

Following the announcement of tighter restrictions, £7,000 has been given to the Jersey Employment Trust. This has also gone towards a credit scheme in the form of vouchers that can be used to pay for phone related services. The plan has been agreed by the island’s four telecom providers: JT, Airtel-Vodafone, Sure, and Newtel Jersey. 

Support is open to any islander who has a disability or long-term health condition, and not just JET clients. Anyone who would like to access the scheme can contact Nick Ozouf by emailing nicholas.ozouf@jet.co.je.
