A new States-run lottery is one option for boosting future sports funding, Education, Sport & Culture has said, as major investment is credited for Great Britain’s historic Olympic success. 

It comes as key figures within the island’s sports scene call for further investment in sport locally and stress that spending funding in the right way was key to results.

Education, Sport & Culture vice-president Carl Meerveld said the committee did not have any immediate plans to change the funding arrangements for the Guernsey Sports Commission, but a lottery could be one option for securing funds in future years.
