REPORT
This proposition seeks to maintain the 2025 allocation of proceeds from the Channel Islands Lottery.
Members will recall that in previous years the proceeds were split 50/50 between the Association of Jersey Charities and the Jersey Community Foundation with the JCF allocation divided between arts, culture and heritage, applied sciences or research and sport.
In 2025, with the support of both Jersey Sport and the JCF it was agreed that the sport portion of funding would be delivered via Jersey Sport in-line with the recommendations of the 2023 Review of Sport and Physical Activity.
Each distributing entity will also have a Service Level Agreement with Government to ensure proper oversight and reporting as well as regular meetings with the Minister and Officers.
Financial and staffing implications
Subject to States Assembly approval, the Jersey proceeds from the Channel Islands Lottery totalling £1,130,000 will be transferred, as stated and as soon as is reasonably practicable, to the Association of Jersey Charities (£565,000), Jersey Community Foundation Limited (£339,000), and Jersey Sport (£226,600).
There are no additional financial or workforce implications for the States arising from this proposition.
