In the wake of the recent hurricane, Jamaica has been left devastated. Homes have been destroyed, communities uprooted, and families are trying to rebuild their lives with limited access to power, safe water, food and essential supplies.

For many of us, Jamaica is more than a place on the map.

It’s a culture of warmth, strength, music, laughter, resilience and love.

It’s “One Love” and right now, that love needs to be returned.

We have friends and personal connections across Jamaica who have told us first-hand the heartbreaking reality:

Families sleeping in damaged homes with no roofs

Communities sharing what little food they have

Children without access to school or stability

Local shops and livelihoods completely wiped out

But amongst the destruction, there is hope.

Jamaicans are rebuilding... brick by brick, meal by meal, hand in hand.

And we want to stand with them.

What this fundraiser will support

Every donation will go directly toward on-the-ground community support, including:

✅ Rebuilding homes and community structures

✅ Supplying food, clean water, clothing and hygiene essentials

✅ Helping schools and childcare centres reopen

✅ Supporting local people, not large organisations

We are working with trusted local contacts to ensure funds reach those who need it immediately and directly.

Why this matters

Jamaica has given the world so much.... culture, music, joy, spirit.

Now it’s our turn to give back.

Even a small amount can make a real difference.

A few pounds can feed a family for a day.

£20 can buy clean water and essentials.

£50 can help repair a damaged home.

This is about community supporting community.

This is about One Love in action.

**If you can give – thank you.

If you can share – thank you.

If you can simply send love – that matters too.**

Together, we can help Jamaica rise again.
