The Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS) Antigua and Barbuda Branch, in partnership with the Halo Foundation, has procured 17 wheeled garbage bins to be made available for use by patrons of large events. The bins were financed by the British High Commission in Antigua and Barbuda.


President of the RCS Antigua and Barbuda Branch, Her Excellency Lady Williams, said:


“We are extremely appreciative of this gesture. The government of the United Kingdom, through its British Commission based here, is always willing to assist in addressing environmental challenges. This donation will allow us to make extra bins available (at no cost) to any organization staging an event that would require additional receptacles for garbage disposal.”


Resident British Commissioner to Antigua and Barbuda, Ms Lindsy Thompson, said “we’re delighted to support the RCS and Halo Foundation with this excellent initiative to help keep Antigua and Barbuda beautiful. This is one of a number of projects funded by the British High Commission supporting Antigua and Barbuda in our shared environment objectives”.

 

Other RCS branches in the Caribbean are Barbados (registered in 1985), Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. Find out more about the RCS Antigua and Barbuda Branch.
