2021 marks 60 years since Jersey’s modern financial services industry put down roots, exporting its financial expertise and intellectual capital to the world, and began its journey towards becoming the award-winning international finance centre it is today. This year is also Jersey Finance’s 20th anniversary.
To celebrate our industry milestone, we’re encouraging the finance industry on-Island to work with us to reach our fundraising goal to raise £60,000 by the end of the year. Proceeds will support local charities via the Association of Jersey Charities. Keep an eye on this web page to track progress on our fundraising target.
Scroll down to discover more about our 60-year anniversary and how you can get involved.
To help us achieve our fundraising goal anyone can donate by visiting the Association of Jersey’s website.
Jersey Finance Member firms are invited to help us reach the £60,000 target by organising their own activities during Fundraising Week (20 – 24 September 2021). Read our guide for ideas on what you can do to fundraise and details of how we’ll collect money raised.
