RYAN LAMBOTTE, JERSEY WADO RYU KARATE CLUB
On behalf of the Channel Islands Federation of Freshwater
Anglers I would just like to say how valuable we found the
support we received from Jersey Sport in 2019. Their new
simpler version of the grant application and also claiming for
grants was so much easier in 2019, not to mention the grants
themselves. Without these we would find it increasingly
hard to participate on the world stage. We are not one of
the major sports, but Jersey Sport always treat us fairly and
as equals and always ask how we are getting on. All in all, I
think Jersey Sport is going from strength to strength and are
now an invaluable source of information and also guidance,
plus a big help financially. Long may it continue.
