Effective Philanthropy based on local need

A pilot project funded by the Jersey Community Foundation has shown just how powerful early intervention can be when it comes to helping young children develop essential speech and language skills.

The project focused on two key areas: providing training and support for all early year’s staff and offering extra help to the children who needed it most. That meant more children got the right support at the right time — often before a specialist referral was ever needed.

According to the latest figures from Jersey Finance, the total net asset value of alternative investment funds under administration in Jersey stands at £452 billion. With a GDP per head of population in 2023 of £63,500, Jersey Finance describes the Island as “at the forefront of banking, corporate services, funds, investment management and private wealth.”

Jersey actively attracts global wealth in the form of High Value Residents, who join a number of wealthy locals who benefit from our low-tax, offshore status. For those relocating and living here, Jersey offers more than financial advantage.

On Tuesday 15 July, over 50 third sector leaders and stakeholders gathered at the National Trust Jersey Café at Greve de Lecq for the successful launch of the Jersey Community Foundation (JCF)’s Health & Social Care Charities Impact Accelerator Programme. The event marked a significant step forward in building a more resilient, strategic, and data-driven charitable sector in Jersey.
