First Citizens Invests in Tobago Pool

Acknowledging the need for a sustainable Tobago YMCA with superior facilities and active youth involvement, the First Citizens Group made a significant monetary contribution to the first major project; the construction of a 25-metre swimming pool.

On Saturday 28th August, the facility located in Courland Estate was officially opened by its founder Gordon Cressy, showcasing the new facility.

YOUNG Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) is an association based on universal principles and is open to all. The group’s mission is to develop healthy, caring, responsible individuals contributing to a society characterised by love and unity.

As the only truly local Bank in Trinidad and Tobago, First Citizens has consistently invested in initiatives that ultimately contribute to national development, and recognised this as a positive investment.
