The Association of Jersey Charities
Founded in 1971, the Association of Jersey Charities has over 250 member organisations. The distribution of the 2019 proceeds to the Association of Jersey Charities in 2020 was governed by a Service Level Agreement. The funding was received late in 2020 and will be distributed in 2021.
The grants approved by the Association of Jersey Charities are listed in the following table and continue to illustrate the very real benefits accrued by lottery profits for Jersey good causes. As the table demonstrates, a wide range of organisations have benefited from the grants, spanning a wide range of issues, from: supporting children and young people, supporting islanders' mental and physical health, protecting the environment and providing services for vulnerable islanders.
The grants help deliver support for local charities, including: salary costs, training costs, equipment and bespoke projects to enhance islanders' lives. The grants reflect the strength of the charitable sector in Jersey and the key role charities play in delivering a range of services.
The grants demonstrate the value of the lottery and the impact playing the lottery has on the community, especially vulnerable groups. Moving forward, more will be done to demonstrate the benefits that the lottery brings and the many different ways it supports charities and islanders on a daily basis.
