Six-Figure Boost For Community Projects

Friday, 11 January 2019 10:55

A Jersey charity trust is vowing to donate £260,000 to the local community this year.

The Bosdet Foundation will provide an extra £110,000 from the profits of Les Ormes on top of its usual annual contribution.

It already supports 11 projects but is looking for others to give cash to.

Nigel Campbell chairs Bosdet’s Charity Committee. He explains what kind of projects could benefit:

"We are now looking for projects that support children and families that have long-term impact and significant changes in society. Ideally, the projects are supported by research that backs up the request and can show measurable outcomes."

Applications for funding are now open on its website.
