ABC Jersey Pink Window Parade - October 2025

Join ABC Jersey’s island-wide Pink Window Parade – a vibrant campaign inviting 100 local establishments and members of the public to create pink-themed window displays, all in support of breast cancer awareness and the importance of regular self-checks.

Early detection saves lives
Last year, ABC Jersey reached over 2,000 students through the school roadshow and handed out 1,000 self-check stickers on Flag Day. This year, they want to take their TLC message (Touch. Look. Check.) even further – and they need your help to do it.

Whether you’re a business, café, school, salon, or home window warrior – let’s make this October unmissable.

How to Take Part

1. Decorate Your Window This October
Get creative with all things pink – from balloons and bunting to pumpkins, paper crafts and florals. Share your pink masterpiece online by tagging @ABCJersey, or email your photos to them.
🎉 Everyone who shares their window will be entered into a lucky dip to win 2 tickets to the Estate Agents Diamond Ball in November!

2. Fundraise
ABC Jersey would really appreciate any support with raising funds to support the ABC Jersey Community. You can set up a fundraising page via Sports Giving – the link is on the website, every penny makes a difference

Employment support for IoD Jersey members

The IoD is acutely aware of the current economic state, including the rise in cost of living and higher than average interest rates, which is forcing members of our local community to reassess their financial priorities. The ongoing pressures that employers face concerning the war on talent perpetuates the issue and we appreciate that this can be an incredibly stressful time as Directors are in pursuit of new roles to achieve further comfort financially, possibly facing redundancy due to various service lines being outsourced to more cost-effective jurisdictions or having their positions put in jeopardy through the M&A activity their businesses may be undertaking at this time.

Should you wish to speak to someone confidentially about opportunities available to you in the market and to receive advice on how to tackle the issues outlined above whilst continuing to strive to meet your career ambitions in an ever-changing environment, then please reach out to our Branch Officer, Zoë Wauton, who can direct you to a trusted recruitment partner operating alongside us with the highest level of discretion.

We continue to echo our message that collaboration among our community is key and the IoD is committed to its duty of care towards its member's well-being through these challenging times”.
