SOURCE OF FUNDS
We have had fantastic financial support from the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission who have recognized us as a local Jersey charity with active links with overseas communities. We have received a number of substantial grants as well as 50:50 match-funding grants (where JOA matches money that we have raised ourselves).
​
We have received some generous grants from local trust companies as well as large individual donations from private individuals.
​
We organise the GREAT NORTH COAST CHARITY CHALLENGE. This popular annual local event is a 19 mile sponsored walk over the rugged north coast of the island, and is a great boost to our funds.
​
Volunteers also raise money for their projects through a variety of events, such as quizzes, packing bags at supermarkets, raffles, cake sales, undertaking jobs such as gardening, painting, rubbish removal, pub collections, BBQs, car boot sales … The ‘Reg Factor’ a talent show at Reg’s Garden was a particularly imaginative and successful venture. The list goes on.
​
A number of long-term supporters provide regular support through covenants which enable us to claim back income tax paid on the donations. We also operate a sponsorship scheme which supports students through secondary and higher education.
​
Our 100 Club also provides a steady income. Participants pay £10 per month and are entered into a monthly prize draw. Details of the 100 Club can be found on our donate page.
