ABC Breast Cancer Support Group Jersey has announced the appointment of Gary Bellot as its new Chair, as the charity looks ahead to the next chapter of its work supporting Islanders affected by breast cancer.
Now celebrating more than 25 years of service, ABC Breast Cancer Support Group Jersey (ABC Jersey) has become a cornerstone of the Island’s support network – funding vital emotional, financial and practical assistance for patients and their families, delivering education and awareness programmes in schools and workplaces, and raising significant funds through the dedication of volunteers, fundraisers and supporters across Jersey.
Gary (pictured) brings with him over four decades of senior leadership and governance experience, having worked at the highest levels within the family office, trust, investment and funds sectors. Throughout his career, he has been trusted with complex governance responsibilities, long-term strategic oversight and stewardship of organisations operating across multiple jurisdictions.
Alongside his professional career, Gary has a long-standing commitment to the charitable sector. He previously served as Chair of the Stroke Association Jersey and was a founding Director of Jersey Stroke Support, where he played a key role in strengthening governance, fundraising capability and long-term sustainability – experience that strongly aligns with ABC Jersey’s ambitions for the future.
Speaking about his appointment, Gary said: “ABC Jersey has an extraordinary legacy and a powerful role within our community. I’m honoured to take on the role of Chair and to work alongside such a committed group of governors, volunteers and supporters. My focus is on building on what already exists – ensuring clarity, resilience and sustainable growth, so the charity can continue to support people when they need it most.”
