This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Jersey Consumer Council – three decades spent standing up for Islanders, challenging unfairness, and giving consumers a voice. It’s a milestone we're proud of, but rather than throwing a party to celebrate ourselves, we asked a simple question: how can we give something back?
That’s why we’re holding the Island’s first Jersey Consumer Fair – a free, community-focused event, bringing together local businesses, service providers, charities and regulators, all under one roof. It’s designed to offer practical help, honest advice, and real savings to Islanders, at a time when every penny counts.
Our Fair isn’t about speeches or ceremonies. It’s about you – the consumer. Whether you're looking for better deals on everyday essentials, tips on cutting energy bills, or just want to learn more about your rights, there’ll be something for everyone. We’ve worked hard to make sure this isn’t just a “talking shop”, but a hands-on, useful event for all age groups and backgrounds.
Over the past 30 years, the Jersey Consumer Council has changed with the times, but our mission has stayed the same: to listen, to act, and to put people first.
The Jersey Consumer Fair is just another step in that journey – and we hope it becomes a regular feature on the Island’s annual calendar.
So come along, ask questions, pick up some tips – and take something valuable home. That’s what we’re here for.
