NAME OF FEATURE | THE GLEANER | FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2025 14 CREDIT UNION WEEK IN REVIEW FEATURE PWD COOPERATIVE Credit Union Limited held a successful National Credit Union Week from October 13 to 18, reinforcing the powerful role cooperative financial institutions plays in supporting the community. The theme, ‘Co-operation for a Prosperous World’, guided the week’s activities, demonstrating that collective effort and mutual support are key to shared prosperity and growth for our members and the wider community. HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND SECURITY The week began with a focus on health and wellness. Our Health and Wellness Fair, held in partnership with the Heart Foundation of Jamaica, provided members with free essential health screenings, including blood pressure, blood sugar, body mass index, haemoglobin and cholesterol level tests. Mid-week offered engagement with an inhouse trivia giveaway on Tuesday, which encouraged members to test their knowledge of the Credit Union’s history and product offerings. On Thursday, our focus shifted to security and wealth. In observance of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, our IT Officer, Dervon Palmer, hosted a webinar providing members with crucial knowledge for staying safe online. We also welcomed Miguel Lewis from Cumax Wealth Management, who offered expert advice on effective wealth management, equipping members to secure their financial futures. APPRECIATION AND COMMUNITY UNITY The celebration culminated on Friday, the 17th, with our Members’ Appreciation Day. This event featured live entertainment, food, and refreshments, which helped strengthen the atmosphere of connection and camaraderie. As a token of our gratitude, members in attendance received prizes and tokens. A special thanks is due to the Jamaica Biscuit Company for their generous donation of snacks, which added a nice touch to the day.
