New £20,000 arts and sports fund for the Channel Islands

Skipton International is establishing a new £20,000 fund to help support community arts and sports projects across the Channel Islands.

It follows recent uncertainty surrounding grants that have been historically provided by the governments in each island.

The fund will accept applications for grants from both Jersey and Guernsey organisations up to a maximum of £1,500 per group. Skipton say they may add more money to the pot if it proves a success.

Jim Coupe, managing director of Skipton International, said: “We have always had a strong community presence and we would be sorry to see a potential lack of funding effect those events that the arts and sports sectors put on for our islands.”

“We hope that by establishing the Skipton Community Fund, we are giving those most in need an opportunity to apply for funding, supporting smaller organisations that might not normally be recognised. We hope it will encourage other firms to follow our example and support more initiatives in the community.”

Russ Fossey, Head of Arts Development at the Guernsey Arts Commission said: “The Skipton Community Fund is a wonderful, welcome idea. A thriving arts community adds vibrancy to the Island and improves our wellbeing, education and economy.”

Skipton will be accepting applications for grants from the fund from January 2018 and more details can be found here.
