This is a breakdown of funding provided by Government. The figures highlight the increased levels of funding for Jersey Sport over the next three years both to carry on their core work, as detailed in their annual business plan, and additional funding to deliver a package of programmes to keep islanders fit and healthy.

In addition to Government funding, many independent amateur sports clubs and associations are self- funding and have various alternative income streams that remains private to them and is not included in these figures.

Some clubs, including Jersey Hockey and Les Creux Bowls Club, rent buildings and/or land from the Government. Many are not based on commercial rents as they take into account the benefits to the local community of providing both physical activity and the opportunity for islanders to socialise, a recognised factor in improving mental health. Full details are not available at short notice but can be provided.

Figures provided also include the cost of operating the Island's public sports facilities, which require a subsidy from the taxpayer each year.

In addition, £700,000 is allocated from the Sports Facility budget for 2020. This is to build on the feasibility study work commenced by KKP and develop an Outline Business Case submission in line with Treasury Green Book Guidance. Work streams include:

Development of the Island's public sports facilities

Wider sporting estate improvements and lifecycle planning

Development of facilities for netball

Consideration of options to relocate sport activities from Fort Regent

This breakdown does not include the funding within the Government Plan to support the Jersey Reds rugby team. The business case for this funding, and that for previous funding, is based on the negative economic impact should the Jersey Reds, our only professional sports club, cease to operate professionally.
