NAME OF FEATURE | THE GLEANER | SUNDAY, AUGUST 31, 2025 13 RADIO JAMAICA 75TH ANNIVERSARY FEATURE | THE SUNDAY GLEANER | AUGUST 31, 2025 THE RJRGLEANER Communications Group continues to support the community through our outreach programmes and our entire Group stands ready to volunteer time and efforts as well as render assistance to our fellow Jamaicans in time of disaster and need. Our Group stands strong on our mission as we ful ll our mandate of “Doing Well by Doing Good”. Our Community Outreach Team holds particular relationships with the Cluster C at the National Golden Age Home Complex and the Citizens Advice Bureau Basic School (CAB), two entities that have grown with our brands and have become like family to us. Our relationship with Cluster C at the National Golden Age Home spans over 40 years, as the Group has supported the Home ever since its doors opened in April 1985. The range of support extends across the continuous upgrading of linens, towels and other items, to our team intertwining Labour Day Projects where staff members contribute their efforts to the physical upkeep of the Cluster, and includes hosting Easter and Christmas treats for the residents of the Home. A delightful aspect of the Group’s community outreach programme is the strong support given by children of the Group’s staff who utilised this platform to enhance their school’s community service mandate. The Group extends its profound thanks to these young individuals and looks forward to their continued support in the Group’s mission. The Citizen’s Advice Bureau Basic School (CAB) continues as a legacy to its founder Hazel Monteith, OD, JP, with whom the RJR family shared a passion for the growth and development of our nation’s young minds. Since 1981, CAB has consistently been our extended family and our Community Outreach Team headed by Norma Brown Bell is ever present at the school’s yearlong activities, including Sports Days, Awards Days, Christmas treats and Graduations. The Group has forged partnerships with Crime Stop Jamaica, Child Month, Save the Children campaign, Jamaica Chamber of Commerce, Institute of Jamaica, Jamaica Customer Service Association, Lions Club, Masters and Celebrities Football, Mona School of Business, United Way of Jamaica, the Jamaica Manufacturers & Exporters Association and the Road Safety Public Education Campaign.At our core, providing support for these efforts is instrumental in helping these associations further their causes and also impact nation building positively. The Group’s partnership with various charities not only helped to raise funds and awareness, but also strengthened our reputation as a socially responsible organisation.
