Association of Guernsey Charities

Any charity based in the Bailiwick of Guernsey (Channel Islands) can join the Association of Guernsey Charities. Our website provides details of all local charities (with links to their websites if applicable) as well as guides and information that may be useful to charities and voluntary organisations. The Association of Guernsey Charities is also responsible for the distribution of monies from the Channel Island Christmas Lottery. Each year the proceeds from this bumper draw are given to charity. Applications are invited from members and the Executive Council, who manage the day-to-day affairs of the Association, build a shortlist of recommended allocations. Since 1991, over a million pounds has been distributed to local charities, enabling many major projects. Most years, however, the amount of money available is less than a third of the total requested by the charities.
