“The expansion of this programme is really a demonstration of the commitment that this administration has, under the leadership of the Honourable Dr. Terrance Drew and Deputy Prime Minister, the Honourable Dr. Geoffrey Hanley, who are both very much caring in terms of when it comes to our seniors and they are very serious about making sure that we put things in place to ensure that all of us, especially you in your golden years, are ageing actively, well and with dignity,” said Minister Phillip.

Honourable Phillip outlined the benefits of these programmes, stating that they are established in communities to provide a space for seniors to socialise, gain information, and stay connected with their representatives and government ministers.

The Seniors’ Day Programme was initially in three communities – St. Pauls, Newtown, and St. Peters – across St. Kitts on March 20, 2023. The programme operates in East Basseterre, St. Peter’s, and St. Paul’s on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, respectively from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Participants engage in various fun and educational activities, including discussions on topics such as proper foot care for diabetics, healthy eating, financial management, and disaster preparedness.

“I am really pleased to know that you are enjoying it and you’re capitalising on all of the opportunities and that we are finally here,” she added.

She further expressed her satisfaction with the programme’s expansion and the positive feedback received from participants.

Minister Phillip extended her gratitude to the organisers and stakeholders who played a crucial role in ensuring the successful opening of the centres.
