Jersey Charity Launches New Health & Wellbeing Fund
9 Oct
Summary
- A new fund is established to enhance health and wellbeing in Jersey.
- The fund supports projects like medical equipment and community health.
- Philanthropic support aims to supplement, not replace, government funding.
The Jersey Community Foundation has initiated the Island Health Fund, a new charitable fund dedicated to advancing health and wellbeing across Jersey.
This fund offers a structured approach for individuals, families, businesses, and charitable trusts to contribute to local health initiatives. Contributions will support a range of projects, from acquiring essential medical equipment and funding research to fostering clinical innovation and specialist training.
According to the foundation's chief executive, Anna Terry, the fund's objective is to augment government funding through philanthropic efforts. "This is not about replacing government funding. It is about what additional philanthropic support can make possible," she stated. An independent panel will be established to manage funding decisions and guide the development of priorities.
