Record pay out to Charities from the
2006 Christmas Lottery
(06 March 2007)
The Culture and Leisure Department is pleased to announce that the payout to charities following the 2006 Channel Islands Christmas Draw is a record £131,596.52.
“This is a marvellous achievement” commented Deputy Jack Honeybill speaking on behalf of the Department’s Lottery Advisory Panel. He added “Our thanks go to all concerned for working so hard to produce such a marvellous result.”
The proceeds are distributed through the Association of Guernsey Charities. Pauline Allen, the Association’s Chairman said that “I am delighted with the outcome which will mean that more of the most deserving people of the island will benefit.”
Local charities wishing to request a share of the lottery funds had to submit an application by the end of February. The Association’s Council are currently considering each application.
Details of grants from the 2006 Lottery will be announced at the Association of Guernsey Charities AGM on 19 April.
