Acorn has been supporting our community and helping Islanders with disabilities since 1991.

Acorn is a social enterprise and local charity which provides employment training and support for people with a range of disabilities and enduring health conditions, who might otherwise struggle to find employment in the open labour market.
How does it work?

Acorn Enterprises is the trading company of Jersey Employment Trust, which is a registered charity. Acorn is home to a unique social enterprise which includes:
Acorn Reuse Centre
Repairing, upcycling and retailing goods which have been donated via the reuse facility at La Collette.
Acorn Woodshack
A wood recycling workshop / shop for reclaimed timber, upcycled wooden furniture and quality locally made gifts and home wares.
Acorn Nursery
Supplying a quality range of bedding plants as well as some perennials and shrubs.
Acorn Café
For home-cooked local food, serving breakfasts, lunches and afternoon teas (operated as a concession).
Investing in people

All trading income generated by Acorn is reinvested with the aim of supporting people with a disability or long-term health condition into employment.
