Advocate Barbara Corbett has been appointed to the Board of the Jersey Cheshire Home.

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

The individuals they care for all have debilitating physical disabilities which results in them no longer being able to live in their own home. Residents stay for as long as they need care so that can vary from months to decades.

Jersey Cheshire Home Foundation Committee has released the following press release welcoming Barbara to their Foundation Committee.

"Jersey Cheshire Home is pleased to announce the appointment of Barbara Corbett to its Foundation Committee.

Barbara is a well-respected family and mental health lawyer with extensive experience in both legal and charitable roles in Jersey. She currently serves on the Jersey Law Commission and has previously held board positions with Jersey Legal Information Board, Music in Action and the St Helier Youth and Community Trust.

Barbara brings a wealth of knowledge in family and mental health matters, which will support the Home’s ongoing commitment to improving the quality of life for residents and strengthening links within the wider community.

Commenting on the appointment Donna Abel, CEO of Jersey Cheshire Home said, “We are delighted to welcome Barbara to the Foundation Committee. Her professional experience and understanding of complex social and legal issues will be a valuable addition as we continue to develop our services and outreach.”

The Foundation Committee plays a key role in supporting the work of Jersey Cheshire Home by helping to guide development, fundraising and engagement efforts."
