The States Assembly are being asked to endorse proposals for the distribution of £857,410, in proceeds of the Channel Islands Lottery ("the Lottery") to the Jersey Community Foundation (JCF), Association of Jersey Charities (AJC), and Jersey Sport (JS) for onward distribution to registered charities. |

The JCF, AJC and JS will distribute Lottery funding to a number of local charities, many of which serve the needs of children and young adults. Funding from previous years has been used to support charities impacting young people such as: • Family First • Jersey Association for Youth and Friendship • NSPCC Jersey • Brighter Futures Limited • Brightly |

• Article 23: Rights of Children with Disabilities • Article 24: Right to Health and Healthcare • Article 28: Right to Education · Article 31: Right to play and leisure · Article 39: Rehabilitation and Social Reintegration It is anticipated that charitable work, supported in part by the proceeds of the Lottery, will continue to make a positive contribution to the lives of a wide range of children and young people in Jersey. |
4) Is a full Children's Rights Impact Assessment required? If you have identified impacts on children and their rights, a full CRIA should be completed. If no impacts are identified then a Full CRIA is not required, but please explain your rationale and how you reached this conclusion |
It is not considered that a full CRIA is required. The specific projects supported by charities using Lottery funding will be decided by the AJC, JCF and JS, this proposition simply allocates £87,410 for onward distribution. |
