REPORT
The proceeds from sales of all Channel Islands Lottery tickets in 2015, according to the provisions of the Gambling (Channel Islands Lottery) (Jersey) Regulations 1975, is to be applied "in such manner and for such purposes of public benefit as the States shall from time to time by Act direct". It is the Minister's recommendation to the States that 100% of these funds are granted, subject to the signing of a Service Level Agreement, to the Association of Jersey Charities.
The Association represents over 300 member charities, and undertakes a valuable function by considering and allocating funding on the basis of need. In doing so, the Association continues to fulfil a vital role in Jersey society. In addition, the Association has agreed to utilise lottery proceeds to provide development support for the voluntary and community sector.
The Department of Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture, together with the Chief Minister's Department, are continuing to work with the Association of Jersey Charities to ensure that in future, the annual proceeds of the Channel Islands Lottery are accessible beyond the current membership of the Association to a broader spectrum of good causes' in the Jersey community on the basis of need.
Financial and manpower implications
Subject to the States' approval, and the signing of a Service Level Agreement, 100% of the Jersey proceeds from the Channel Islands Lottery in 2015 will be transferred as soon as is reasonably practicable to the Association of Jersey Charities.
There are no financial or manpower implications for the States arising from this proposition.
