Flow spreads Christmas cheer to wards in CCB care
More than 120 wards in state care received a festive boost yesterday as Flow staff delivered gifts through the company’s annual Adopt A Child For Christmas initiative.
The recipients, ranging from infants to 32-year-olds, received carefully selected presents at Flow’s Warrens Office, covering children from Nightingale Children’s Village and the Marina Brewster Centre at Farrs.
Six homes across the two institutions benefited, including Violet Gittens Centre, Carole’s Cottage, McManus & Ellen, Shelley’s Cottage, Marina Brewster, and Tys Cottage.
Desron Bynoe, Vice President and General Manager of Flow Barbados, praised the generosity and compassion of Flow staff.
“This initiative is powered entirely by the hearts and finances of our employees, and once again they have gone above and beyond demonstrating genuine care and generosity,” said Bynoe.
“At Flow, we believe that connection goes beyond the services we provide; it is fundamentally about people, purpose, and community. Being able to brighten the lives of these young people at Christmas is both humbling and deeply meaningful for us.”
He added that the overwhelming staff response has sparked deeper conversations with the Child Care Board.
“Because of the enthusiasm and commitment shown by our team, we are now in discussions with the CCB about adopting some of the wards on a more permanent basis. This momentum speaks volumes about the culture of care and giving back that exists within Flow. We thank the CCB for allowing and fostering this meaningful partnership.”
Sherriann Weir, Acting Senior Child Care Officer of the Barbados Child Care Board, expressed sincere appreciation for Flow’s continued partnership and support.
“Special thanks to Flow for once again remembering the wards of the state this Yuletide season. There are some homes within the communities who may not be able to provide a gift for the children within their communities or within their homes, so as a result Flow has continued to partner with us. It is a wonderful partnership. On behalf of the board, I say thank you to the Flow staff who worked closely with us. This invaluable gesture ensures that Christmas is a wonderful one for all the children,” Weir said.
Flow’s Adopt A Child For Christmas initiative has become a cherished tradition, reinforcing the company’s commitment to giving back and making a lasting impact on Barbados’ communities. (PR)
