The Emily Scarlett Foundation Limited

The Emily Scarlett Foundation exists to support children and young people with complex medical conditions, together with their carers, by providing appropriate assistance and guidance to help them navigate the challenges associated with accessing care, support services, and related provisions. In furtherance of these objectives, the Foundation will make grants to registered charities whose purposes align with its own, thereby enhancing the capacity of organisations already delivering specialist services to families in Jersey. The Foundation’s principal fundraising initiative, the “Miles for Em” event, is designed to provide a safe, structured, and accessible opportunity for participation by individuals of all abilities. The event promotes physical and mental wellbeing while contributing to social inclusion. The Foundation also seeks to advance public understanding of medical conditions affecting children and young people, including Cystic Fibrosis and Epilepsy. In doing so, it aims to highlight the challenges experienced by affected individuals and their families, and to encourage greater awareness, compassion, and informed support within the wider community.

2. The Company's objects ("the Objects") are specifically restricted to: 2.1. Seeking to relieve sickness, disease and disability in Jersey by raising and then distributing funds to other Jersey registered charities, and, exceptionally, other organisations delivering charitable purposes, in both cases whose aims, purposes and ethos are wholly consistent with and supportive of the company’s object.

The annual “Miles for Em” event, held on the Esplanade and Railway Walk in St Helier, shall constitute the Foundation’s principal fundraising activity. The event will be delivered once in each calendar year, supplemented, where capacity permits, by additional smaller-scale fundraising initiatives. The event shall be organised and overseen by the charity governors, with support from appropriately trained volunteers, first-aid providers, safeguarding leads, and relevant community partners. It shall be planned and delivered in a manner that is inclusive and accessible, offering 5-kilometre, 10-kilometre, and half-marathon options for both runners and walkers. Routes will be designed to accommodate participants using wheelchairs and pushchairs, thereby promoting broad and equitable participation. The Foundation shall make grants to registered charities whose objectives are consistent with supporting children with sickness, disease and disability and their families. Appropriate due diligence shall be undertaken prior to the award of any grant, and recipient organisations may be required to provide reports on the application and outcomes of funding to ensure that funds are used effectively and in furtherance of the Foundation’s charitable purposes.
