Partnerships
with Purpose

Building a partnership with Jersey Sport will help to make a real difference to the lives of many islanders. We work with companies to build mutually beneficial partnerships with a shared purpose at their core.

This could include increasing the public’s awareness of the importance of health and wellbeing in our physical and emotional state, and tackling the inequalities that face certain groups of islanders – including women and girls, lower socio-economic groups, and those with one or more disabilities. Building a safe, sustainable, inclusive sporting community is critical to our success.

In return, Jersey Sport can offer visibility and branding opportunities to its corporate partners, creating a mutually beneficial relationship that strengthens reputation and brand awareness.
