A fund set up to support Jersey islanders affected by Storm Ciarán is open for applications.
The Bailiff's Fund will help individuals and families who were displaced due to the storm and those who need short term aid to help them through difficulty.
Islanders have until 7 December to apply via the Jersey Community Foundation (JCF) website and applications will be reviwed in mid-December.
Anna Terry from the foundation said: "We hope that these funds will offer some support to those most affected by the storm.”
Storm Ciarán displaced more than 150 people in Jersey
Sir Timothy Le Cocq, the Bailiff, said: "Storm Ciarán was even more harmful in its impact on our community than predicted.
"In its wake, it became quickly apparent that that a number of islanders including families had suffered very significant loss with damaged homes and loss of personal possessions.
"The Bailiff’s Appeal was established to help those affected have access to prompt financial aid to help them stabilise and recover quickly."
