How your lottery tickets help local charities

Every time you buy a Channel Islands Lottery ticket, you’re not just playing a game – you’re making a real difference in the Channel Islands.
 
Our Lottery proceeds support a wide range of charitable initiatives, from health and education to community development and environmental preservation. Each year, our instant games contribute £2 million to empower a variety of vital causes, helping local organisations and projects to thrive. This funding ensures that essential services and innovative programmes can continue to make a positive and meaningful impact on the lives of Islanders in Jersey and Guernsey.
 
Thank you for your support – together, we are building a stronger and more vibrant community.

This could include anything from a family break up, bullying and bereavement to neglect, domestic violence and human trafficking. Their grant of £137,971 is helping to expand the centre and their services, as well as contributing to their core running costs, for the next 3 years.

Brightly, Jersey – Awarded £30,000
