Thank you, Jersey Community Foundation 💚

We appreciate your support of this development and for sharing our story.

Case Study: Les Amis – Maison des Amis

Thanks to a grant of £21,327 from the Greville Bathe and Ann Alice Raynor Funds, Les Amis is developing Maison des Amis, a specialist five-bed facility designed to support Islanders with learning disabilities who develop complex health needs due to age, dementia, or other conditions.

As more Les Amis residents grow older, demand for specialist nursing and end-of-life care continues to increase. Without appropriate provision, individuals often face distressing moves into generic care settings where staff may not have specialist learning disability training.

Maison des Amis will provide personalised, dignified care in a familiar environment, allowing residents to remain connected to the community and support network they know and trust. Construction began in June 2025 and is expected to complete in summer 2026.

Read more about this and other projects in our latest Annual Review and other publications on our website.

The Les Amis Fact File! 🤓

Did you know that people with learning disabilities have fewer opportunities when it comes to meaningful employment? At Les Amis, we are committed to changing this.

We currently employ six apprentices as part of our maintenance team, while also supporting individuals to explore and pursue a wide range of opportunities within the employment sector.

Les Amis Fact File! 🤓

Did you know, Makaton is a unique communication method that uses symbols, signs and speech to help people communicate more effectively.

It is especially valuable for hearing people with learning or communication difficulties, as it supports understanding and expression by combining signs and symbols alongside spoken word.

At Les Amis, we recognise the importance of inclusive communication and the role it plays in empowering individuals with learning disabilities.

The Les Amis Fact File! 🤓

Did you know? People with learning disabilities are far less likely to participate in social activities due to having smaller social networks.

This is why Les Amis understand the importance of community and hold regular social events through the social club, as well as numerous activities throughout the year, to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to make new friendships and to feel included.

We'll be sharing more facts throughout the week to celebrate Learning Disabilities Week 🎉

Learning Disabilities Week - " Do you see me?"💚

We are delighted to be supporting Learning Disabilities Week this week (15–21 June). This year’s theme is “Do you see me?” and it is our intention to ensure that people with learning disabilities are seen, heard, and valued in every part of life.

This week is not only for the continued celebration of those we support, but also a perfect time to raise awareness. We are proud to stand alongside the people we support and recognise their engagements and achievements, while listening to their voices.
