| RCCU Gives Back to Community |
|
As part of activities for Credit Union Week in October, RCCU distributed grants to a number of organisations and groups covering sports, education, culture, youth and the elderly. This is in keeping with the Credit Union Operating Principle of "Social Responsibility" which charges credit unions to give back to the larger community where their members live and work. The Trafalgar Juvenile Football Academy was the recipient of the largest grant ,an amount of $6000, towards its 2008/2009 programme. RCCU has sponsored the Academy since 2004. Also receiving support were the Dominica Academy of Arts & Sciences (DAAS) for the Reunion 2008 International Soccer Tournament; Cultural Division for the National Cultural Gala; Dominica Council of Ageing for the senior Games; Dominica Association of Disabled Persons for its Dollar Day; Dominica Football Referees Association for the 40th Anniversary Week of Activities; Shalom Pre-School for a facelift of the school and Michelle Belle for participation in the Ms. Charlotteville Pageant. Annually through its donations and sponsorship programmes, RCCU returns a portion of its net surplus to the community by supporting a variety of worthwhile causes.
