Moving forward

It is clear that the third sector in Jersey plays a significant and important role in improving the lives and outcomes for Islanders and in responding to the needs of the Island as a whole. It is estimated that the hours volunteered by Islanders alone represents the equivalent of over 3,500 full time jobs in the economy, which is worth more than £100 million to the Island (Billion-pound lossinvolunteeringeffort , 2017). However, if we are to meet the growing and changing needs of our Island, we will need to better target limited resources towards the area’s most in need.

For this reason, JCF hope to build on this Local Needs Assessment to develop their funding strategy and associated framework for monitoring and evaluation.
