Organisations invited to apply for Children's Day

The government has invited organisations, including charitable services, catering services and sponsorship, to get in touch by Friday if they wish to be involved in this year's event

Organisations that would like to be involved in an annual festival celebrating Jersey's children have until Friday to register their interest, the government has said.

The Government of Jersey said Children's Day continued to grow with about 10,000 people attending last year.

The free event is held at Howard Davis Park and 60 charities and community groups attended in 2024, along with 300 volunteers.

It is dedicated to recognising and celebrating children and young people on the island, and will take place on 13 July this year.

'Wonderful opportunity'

The event includes free activities with youth performers on stage throughout the day.

Constable Richard Vibert, minister for children and families, said the event was a "wonderful opportunity to show our appreciation for the young people" within the community.

He added: "It is a day to celebrate their achievements, support their aspirations, and ensure their voices are heard. We are committed to creating an environment where every child in Jersey can thrive."

The government has invited organisations, including charitable services, catering services and sponsorship, to get in touch by Friday if they wish to be involved in the event.

It added there was "something for everyone to enjoy" at the event.
