A message from Jude 🧡

I feel incredibly humbled to have been nominated for a BBC Radio Jersey Make a Difference Award.

But Brighter Futures has never been about one person.

Everything we achieve is because of the incredible team around me, people who care deeply about the families we support and who give so much of themselves every single day.

I may help raise the funds, but it is the whole Brighter Futures team who turn that funding into something that really matters: support, opportunities and brighter futures for families every week.
I’m very lucky to play my part alongside them.

🧡 Thank you to BBC Radio Jersey for sharing my story, and to whoever put my name forward, it genuinely means a great deal.
