About Jersey Sport
Jersey Sport was formed as the independent body for the development of sport and active living in Jersey, in June 2017 – as an arms-length organisation supported by the Government of Jersey. In 2019 we became a registered charity. Our aim is to make sport and physical activity more accessible for everyone.
We advocate for sport and physical activity by promoting and developing opportunities for islanders to play sport and adopt active lifestyles.
Our mission is to inspire and enable positive well-being for all through lifelong engagement in sport and physical activity
In April 2023, we welcomed Jersey’s Lieutenant-Governor, His Excellency Vice Admiral Jerry Kyd CBE, as our Patron.
“As a keen sportsman, with a particular love for boxing, I am delighted to support the work of Jersey Sport and become their new Patron. Increasing participation in sport and physical activity is not only vital to increase the physical health of islanders, but important for their mental health too. I hope by working together we can reduce the inequalities which are apparent amongst some sports and physical activity opportunities in Jersey and focus on building an inclusive local sporting community.“
JERSEY SPORT
Our remit is focused upon the delivery of the following four primary purposes within the island:
- Increase participation in sport and physical activity
- Reduce inequalities in sport and physical activity – namely for women and girls, lower socio-economic communities, and those with one or more disabilities
- Focus on inactive islanders
- Build a safe, sustainable, and inclusive sporting community
As a registered charity, working with a broad range of partners and stakeholders, our aim is to build a safe, sustainable, inclusive sporting community in Jersey, increase participation in physical activity and reduce any inequalities that exist. Your support can help us make sport and physical activity more accessible for every islander.
