We partnered with Normans Jersey to create these handmade hedgehog homes, crafted by our talented team at the Acorn Woodshack.

By picking one up, you’re not only giving a local hedgehog a safe and cosy home, but also supporting Acorn’s mission of providing work and training opportunities for Islanders who have a disability or long-term health condition to gain skills, confidence and take meaningful steps towards employment.

Use the link below to see how the homes are made: https://youtu.be/7ZKG22V84dQ

At Normans, we’re proud to support hedgehog conservation here in Jersey.

We’ve supplied the wood for these amazing hedgehog houses, handcrafted by the fantastic team at Acorn Enterprises! You can see how they were made in our YouTube video https://youtu.be/7ZKG22V84dQ

By choosing one of these houses, you’re not only giving a local hedgehog a safe home but also supporting Acorn’s incredible work providing employment and training for people with disabilities or long-term health conditions. It’s a win-win for our community and our wildlife!

Pop into Normans this week to get your very own hedgehog house and help our local hedgehogs thrive!

Ahead of Better Journey’s Week, our trained mechanics team returned to Mourant to carry out bike safety checks for staff. Around 25 bikes were serviced and checked, helping employees feel more confident commuting by bike.

Two of our clients joined the team to gain hands-on experience as bicycle mechanics. One client is also currently working towards an ETCA Level 1 qualification, delivered in house at Acorn by our Training and Development Coordinator, Tim Le Breuilly.

Encouraging cycling supports a more environmentally sustainable way of travel, aligning closely with Acorn’s commitment to reuse, reducing waste and promoting greener choices within the community.

We’d like to say a huge thank you to the Skipton Community Fund for their generous contribution towards our new irrigation pump here at Acorn!

This new irrigation pump is already making a big difference behind the scenes in our plant nursery. It allows us to make better use of collected rainwater, reduce our reliance on borehole supplies, and keep the hundreds of thousands of plants in our care thriving.

But it’s not just about plants...
Your support helps us continue providing valuable training, skills development and employment opportunities for Islanders with disabilities and long-term health conditions, all while helping us stay sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Thank you, Skipton Community Fund.

Free Bike Check-Up TOMORROW!

Pop down and see the Acorn mechanics from 9am–12pm on Sunday 17th May at Les Cinq Chenes, for a free bike check. Adults' and children’s bikes all welcome.

We’ll give your cycle a quick safety check, including tyres, chain, gears, brakes and frame, with minor adjustments where needed to keep everything running smoothly.
The team will also be on hand to offer maintenance advice and answer any questions you might have.

No booking needed, just drop by. There may be a short wait if we’re busy.

Find us in the Acorn gazebo on the green area!

Acorn was one of 17 charities chosen by the Lions Club of Jersey in this year’s Swimarathon, their theme being diversity and inclusion.

Acorn is being given £2,200 towards its plastics workshop, which provides work and training for Islanders who have a disability or long-term health condition.

As a thank-you, Acorn Training & Development Client Services Manager Fiona Scott and Fundraising Manager Caroline Spencer handed over a gift of items we have already repurposed from chocolate tubs. Pictured with them are chairman of the Swimarathon Organising Committee Chris Palmer and Lions president Jane Rueb.

Thank you to everyone who swam, volunteered, or sponsored a swimmer!

Dear Customers,

As we head into our busy bedding season here at Acorn, we know how easy it is to fill up your shopping baskets… and sometimes accidentally take them home with you.

However, we’ve noticed that over three-quarters of our baskets have now gone missing, which is having a real impact on our day-to-day operations.

We kindly ask that if you have any of our baskets at home, please return them to the shop as soon as possible. This is an urgent call to help us keep everything running smoothly for all our customers.

Thank you so much for your understanding and support. 💚
