A Ministerial Decision made public last week showed that Health Minister Tom Binet approved the release of £640,000 from the Harold Ernest Le Seelleur Fund.
The grant will allow the St Helier-based care charity to increase its bed capacity by three, and improve its therapeutic spaces for specialised rehabilitation programmes.

Mr Le Seelleur, who died in 1996, bequeathed his assets to the Government to be used for the benefit of “the aged, infirm and needy residents of the island”.
This aligns with the aims of Jersey Cheshire Home, which provides accommodation for 31 individuals and supports over 60 additional islanders each week to manage and improve their condition through aqua and physiotherapies.

Jersey Cheshire Home is the only residential facility on the island caring solely for adults with disabilities.
