Minister Samal Duggins, responsible for Sports, Creative Economy, and Agriculture, upholds the Senior Sunday tradition by visiting elderly residents in Constituency 4, including those unable to leave home.
Delivering Care Packages and Personal Check-Ins
During the visits, Minister Duggins distributed care packages to community members. These deliveries and personal check-ins form a regular part of his outreach to Constituency 4 residents.
The minister engaged directly with seniors, highlighting the initiative’s role in supporting the community’s older population. He described the visits as “a simple but meaningful way of keeping in touch with, and staying connected with, the people who have contributed to the community.”
Post-Church Service Outreach
The visits followed a church service celebrating Black History Month. Minister Duggins expressed gratitude to Benjamin Thomas for leading prayers and providing comfort to those visited. He also thanked Claudia Williams for her ongoing support and dedication to Constituency 4 residents.
“These visits are a reminder that service is not just about policy, it’s about people,” Minister Duggins stated.
Health Checks and Team Support
Nurse Tamara Liddie accompanied the team, checking vital signs such as blood pressure and sugar levels to ensure seniors receive optimal care. The minister extended thanks to her for her time, compassion, and service.
This event aligns with Minister Duggins’ broader community care efforts. His consistent interactions with seniors, youth, and other residents demonstrate a strong commitment to prioritizing Constituency 4’s interests.
