Response

The exact information requested is not held. The Government of Jersey receives requests from a range of organisations for funding, however, does not retain a central record as to which of these entities has registered as a Charity.  A Scheduled Public Authority is not obliged to create new datasets or manipulate existing data to address Freedom of Information requests, Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 therefore applies. 

Article applied

For the purposes of this Law, information is held by a public authority if –

(a)     it is held by the authority, otherwise than on behalf of another person; or
