The donations are from individuals, businesses and supporters of SVG, including Podium 4 Sport and various sporting clubs across Northern Ireland.

The new equipment has been marked for Youths aged 14-17 in SVG, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and Consumer Affairs; Ministry of Tourism, Sport and Culture; and Ministry of National Mobilisation and Youth, as there is a high demand and need for these individuals, particularly in rural areas.

Arrangements are being made for transport to Kingstown and disbursement through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and Consumer Affairs.

Dr Christopher Stange, Hon. Consul for St Vincent and the Grenadines, thanked the people of Northern Ireland for their generosity that coincides with the SVG Government’s strong commitment towards health, wellness and engaging the youth, for which sport provides an important medium. This will be an ongoing campaign and anyone who would like to contribute or explore how they may assist SVG please feel free to contact the Consulate directly or visit our website: www.svgconsulate.co.uk
