Case Studies

Major Grants Programme

We supported the Guernsey Sports Commission with £103,102 over three years

The Guernsey Sports Commission's role is to lead, represent and be a champion for sport in Guernsey. They believe that everyone in Guernsey should have the opportunity and support to participate and compete, and fulfil their potential, no matter what their background, age, or level of ability, in a safe and supportive environment.

The On Your Marks programme aims to offer a fun and inclusive sports and activity-based holiday club for all children from Year 1 to Year 9, with a particular focus on families and children who would benefit from attending but for whom cost may be a barrier. The aim is to provide at least 25% of all spaces to families/children in need and work closely with schools and other family services to identify children who would benefit from a supported space.
