The Bridgetown Port Taxi Co-op Society Ltd is helping vulnerable families get ready for the new school year, providing back-to-school assistance to students at three primary schools in Christ Church and St Michael.

The Co-op made special presentations to St Lawrence Primary, St Mark’s Primary and St Stephen’s Primary on Tuesday, with the schools’ principals and senior staff accepting the donations for students and families.

Although the organisation did not disclose the value of the financial support, Adrian Smiley Bailey, the president of the Co-op, said the initiative was part of its commitment to giving back to the community.
