Front Cover: Jersey Arts Centre’s Christmas Production: A Christmas Carol. 3 Chairman’s Report This set of financial statements relate to the Jersey Arts Centre (JAC) operation in 2019 and the performance of the team during the year. I feel proud to report that the JAC had a brilliant year in terms of output and there has been a positive step forward in the level of government support both in year and commitments for the future. Daniel and his team put on 232 ticketed performances during the year with an overall attendance of 25,242 for the year. Membership numbers have held steady and work is ongoing to consider how to widen the reach of the JAC to attract different and younger people to participate in our Arts community. The financial performance reflects the continued prudence of the organisation especially in the area of cost management. We were in receipt of a one-off grant during the year to repair the heating and ventilation system and we anticipate that this work will be completed in 2020 ahead of the 2021 season which should see the JAC return to full audiences for our performances. We have been meeting regularly with Government to discuss our funding and the funding of Arts in Jersey in general. There is a recognition that Arts and Culture form an important part of Island life and that more needs to be done to support those organisations that work in this space. We have been pleased by the constructive nature of this dialogue and are hopeful that our future funding will reflect the tenor of those discussions. This would allow the JAC to expand its community activities and give the team scope to look at and widen our digital and educational offering. One of the major concerns for the JAC is our premises and the work that needs to be done to improve Phillips Street and the continuing uncertainty of the office space that Daniel and his team occupy. We are now in receipt of condition surveys that Oddsocks: A Midsummer Night’s Dream show that there will be a need to invest in repairs at Phillips Street and we anticipate that this work will commence in 2021. Daniel and I have been active in our work with Government on premises and we look forward to the outcome of the latest cultural review which should address the strategic direction for cultural premises in general. It is our desire to remain at Phillips Street but have more certainty in our office space and have access to a better rehearsal space. I think we can all agree that the JAC is special and that the work of the team is amazing given the resources that are available to them. I know that our members love the JAC not only because of the performance programme but also because of the role it plays in the wider community. The JAC hosts dance competitions, school programmes, classes, exhibitions and provides a place for like minded people to participate in the Arts. This would not be possible without the team, our wonderful volunteers, our donors and the Government and we are all grateful for the continuing support we receive. To close, I need to reference what an extraordinary year 2020 has been. What Daniel and the team have managed to do in these difficult circumstances is more than just commendable: it is fantastic. I would like to thank them without reservation and I look forward to another year of working with them. DEANNE BRATCH BA (Hons), MA, FCMA HONORARY CHAIRMAN Flo + Joan: Alive on Stage 4 Financial Report 2019 Treasurer’s Report The Management Committee, Director and Chairman worked tirelessly in 2019 to secure additional funding as it was obvious through cash flow forecasts that funding for future programming was not sufficient. I am pleased to say that Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture (‘EDTS&C’) provided Jersey Arts Centre with a Top-Up grant to enable programming to continue in the second part of 2019. Through careful management of cash and cost control the cash position enabled Jersey Arts Centre to continue its programming throughout the year. Key Highlights · Cash Balance of: £153,286 versus £118,953 in 2018 The main improvement in cash flow versus projected cash flow was down to a one off Top-Up grant of £70,000 in June 2019. This was to aid Jersey Arts Centre with programming in Q3 & Q4 of 2019 (£24k) and to assist with maintenance of the Heating & Ventilation system (£46k). The Christmas show also helped at the year end with cash flow and some advance bookings relating to 2020 shows. The £46k allocated to the Heating & Ventilation system was not fully spent in 2019 and this has been carried forward to 2020. · Operational deficit: £8,679 versus £38,598 in 2018 This is an improvement on 2018 and clearly shows the careful management of programming and hirings throughout 2019 Enkidu Khaled: Working Method based on ‘cash restraints’. · Total income: £812,506 versus £782,297 in 2018 The Future The main increase in Total Income is due to the Top-Up grant The impact of Covid-19 has had a huge impact on of £24k and additional revenue from hirings compared to the programming and hirings from March 2020 and this has previous year. There has been some work this year to ensure impacted us all at Jersey Arts Centre. Funding was that the allocation of revenue between hirings and promotions originally secured for an Education and Outreach Assistant in are now more reflective of the activities. 2020, however, understandably this has now been delayed. The 2020 grant from EDTS&C has increased on 2019 by £48k which is more in line with inflation and should enable critical work to continue on the Heating and Ventilation system as well as some much needed investment in Capital Expenditure. The management and employees at Jersey Arts Centre have provided various alternative programmes and activities during the lockdown period and they have to be commended for their resilience and commitment. As always, we look for ways to improve the way we work and we are in the process of reviewing our procedures and moving to on-line banking. Acknowledgments I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Chairman, Deanne Bratch, the Management Committee and the Director of Jersey Arts Centre, Daniel Austin, for their work with States Members in trying to secure future funding for the Centre. I would also like to thank all the employees, members and volunteers of Jersey Arts Centre for their commitment and hard work in providing an excellent programme of events in 2019. Casey Jay Andrews: DAWN O’REILLY, FCCA, MBA The Archive of Educated Hearts HONORARY TREASURER 5 There were also five contemporary and cutting edge presentations from Richard Jordan Productions from Belgium, Italy, Iraq and the UK. One of these was a residency (see page Director’s Report 17) which then headed up to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The 13th Parish Festival was inaugurated over 3 days in May during which there were 12 screenings and 447 attendances. Jersey Arts Centre once again delivered extraordinary and We look forward to their return in 2021! unique learning, community and performance opportunities throughout 2019, however, the financial challenges remained Jersey Festival of Words celebrated its fifth year and at Jersey similar to previous years with no inflationary increases on the Arts Centre there were 1,142 attendances over 14 events.

Strong progress has continued on our journey of continuous improvement with the implementation of the Strategic Plan and it has again been a highly successful year for both schools. Victoria College achieved its best ever overall results at GCSE. Whilst A level results remained strong, they dropped to levels that existed before the recent high years and support arrangements have been put in place in some departments. Encouragingly, Victoria College was scored in the top 10% of some 3,000 UK schools, reflecting outstanding progress students made in achieving results better than their predictions.

  • A Comparative Study of Indigenous Language Revitalization in the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE This is an original accepted manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Current Issues in Language Planningprovided by SOAS Research Online (2014), available online: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14664208.2014.972535 1 Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/21243 “I’m Not Dead Yet”: A Comparative Study of Indigenous Language Revitalization in the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey Gary N. Wilsona*, Henry Johnsonb and Julia Sallabankc Abstract At the outset of the 21st century, the survival of many minority and indigenous languages is threatened by globalization and the ubiquity of dominant languages such as English in the worlds of communication and commerce. In a number of cases, these negative trends are being resisted by grassroots activists and governments. Indeed, there are many examples of activists and governments working together in this manner to preserve and revitalize indigenous languages and cultures. Such coordinated efforts are vital to the success of language revitalization. This article compares the work of language activists and governments in three small island jurisdictions in the British Isles: the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey. Comparison between these cases is greatly facilitated by similarities in their political, economic and demographic circumstances. The cases, however, reveal important differences in the way that activists and governments have responded to the challenges of language revitalization, as well as some interesting insights on the future prospects of the indigenous languages of these small island jurisdictions.
