  • 9650 Organisations in Receipt of States Grants
    16 1240/5(9650) WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY S.Y. MÉZEC OF ST. HELIER ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 11TH OCTOBER 2016 Question Will the Minister provide a list of those organisations which previously regularly received a States grant and which have either had that grant reduced or cut entirely since the Minister took office? Answer Grants to organisations are at the discretion of each department based on an evaluation of whether they support the objectives of the Department and the overall Strategic Objectives of the States of Jersey. Due to the discretionary nature of grant funding, the level of funding and recipients of grants vary between years. In some cases, there will be continuity in the organisations receiving grant funding but the reason for the grant may change to support different objectives. Equally, different organisations may be in receipt of grant funding in different years to achieve the same objective. For that reason, it is important to consider the wider allocation of grants and their targeted nature in response to this question. All grant allocations are disclosed in the States of Jersey Financial Report and Accounts (Accounts) and the corresponding Annex. Any significant individual grant, now defined as £75,000 and over, is identified in the Grants Note in the Accounts (page 154 in the 2015 Accounts). Grants below this amount are listed in the Annex in Appendix A. The Minister took office in 2014 so the analysis provided in this response focuses on changes in grants allocated between 2014 and 2015.

  • Sports Development Annual Report 2011
    Education, Sport and Culture Sports Development Annual Report 2011 w o m JMNERSEY e MIXEDnETBALL Introduction Last year, for the first time, a document was written to record the vast amount of work that is being done by many people to facilitate and support the development of activity across a range of sports and activity programmes for the benefit of many people in Jersey. It also informed the work programmes for 2011 and I am delighted that the second report demonstrates even more development and achievements. The following pages reflect the work carried out by officers directly employed by Education Sport and Culture as well as those employed by Governing Bodies who are supported with a grant from ESC. The aims, objectives and performance indicators for each person are different and reflect the needs of their particular area of activity. They are developed in consultation with ESC to ensure that they contribute to the objectives of the department and in turn the Strategic Objectives of the States of Jersey. By bringing this together in one report, I believe it clearly demonstrates the outstanding work being done by officers and others in their sports, and the significant effect that it is having on the quality of life of the many people who benefit from the efforts being made. Clearly, the work has also helped to raise the standard of performance in each area of delivery. This report does not record the excellent work that is done by countless volunteers who work in their sports without the assistance of a Development Officer.

  • JT Powering Super League Triathlon
    30 August 2017 JT powering Super League Triathlon JT is the official Technology Partner for a world-class triathlon event being held in Jersey next month. 50 of the world’s leading male and female triathletes, including 25 Olympians from around the world, will compete in Jersey, British Isles, for the Super League Triathlon crown on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 September. The line-up will include the UK’s Jonny Brownlee, Mario Mola Diaz from Spain, South Africa’s Richard Murray, three-time Olympian Flora Duffy from Bermuda, and Jersey’s own Dan Halksworth. The two days of intense competition will be televised and streamed around the globe. JT is providing technical support, mobile communications and super-fast internet access to the broadcast team and race organisers. JT has pedigree in this area: two years ago, the company was Technology Partner to the successful 2015 Island Games in Jersey, providing the technology to make the Games the most connected in its history. Graeme Millar, Chief Executive Officer of JT, said: “A world-class event needs world- class infrastructure, which JT is well placed to provide. Because of our investment in our mobile and fibre networks, a significant sporting roadshow like the Super League Triathlon can arrive in the Island and broadcast to millions of people with relative ease. “The St Helier Waterfront is a perfect backdrop for this weekend of intense competition and I’m sure the whole Island will get behind it. I’m pleased that JT can play its part in showcasing Jersey to the world.” Super League Triathlon founder Micheal D’Hulst said: “One of the reasons why Jersey is a perfect venue for this action-packed event is not only because of its striking beauty but also because of its fantastic infrastructure.

  • Jèrriais Plan 2017 – 2019
    STATES OF JERSEY JÈRRIAIS PLAN 2017 – 2019 Presented to the States on 16th June 2017 by the Minister for Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture STATES GREFFE 2017 R.72 2 REPORT Context When debating funding for Jèrriais in September 2016, a number of States Members requested a plan to help preserve Jersey’s native language to be used and enjoyed as something that makes the Island a special place; not, as one speaker put it, “as some kind of museum piece”. Such a plan is overdue. Although Jèrriais has been taught to school pupils since 1999,1 there has been no attempt to relate these learning opportunities to the wider challenge of keeping the language alive. A relatively small proportion of children across the Island have enjoyed Jèrriais lessons in lunchbreaks and after school. This has created interest; and participation in community events like the Eisteddfod has been enthusiastic. However, on the basis of the modest level of provision – fewer than 3 teachers working outside normal school hours or in gaps in the school day – no new speakers have emerged from this generation able to hold a conversation in the language. Consequently, Jèrriais will die out very soon if action is not taken. Almost all remaining native speakers are in their 70s or above; the total number is estimated to be perhaps as few as 500. Since speakers have a crucial role in passing on a language, intervention is required immediately to reverse the situation; otherwise the opportunity will be lost in a very few years. Jersey’s attitude to Jèrriais is paradoxical: on the one hand the language faces imminent extinction, yet it is something of which we appear proud and increasingly we use it to project a positive image of ourselves to the world at large.
