Locals will be handed a £100 each to spend on the high street - including at bars, restaurants, pubs, cafés and major chains. Under the scheme, all residents in Jersey will be handed a £100 MasterCard, loaded with cash to spend on anything from a hair cut to a personal training session. However, the Spend Local Cards will not be valid online or on gambling and cannot be donated as a whole to charity. To qualify for the scheme, the person must have been a resident in Jersey on June 30, 2020. In Malta, residents are being given €100 (£90) in five €20 vouchers to spend at bars, hotels, and restaurants which have suffered from the collapse in global tourism.
