Channel Island Lottery seems to have done its bit to help charities in Guernsey. More than 30 charities have benefited from the grants given by the Channel Island Lottery. The money given out by a Channel Island Lottery came from its Christmas lottery proceeds.
A total amount of 231,000 pounds will be divided between 36 charities by the Association of Guernsey Charities.

The Channel Island Lottery is well known for its charitable works. Last year they handed out an amount of 60,000 pounds as grants to various charities. The biggest share of the cake went to Guernsey Cheshire Home, which got almost 20,000 pounds.
