Mr. Bertram Leon
Secretary/Public Relations Officer
Unity of UK St. Lucian Associations

Our main aim at the time of forming the association was to raise sufficient funds to finance an ambulance service for the district and simultaneously contribute to the regeneration of the area, in the aftermath of the hurricane. Our perseverance, dedication and enthusiasm have paid off, and the Canaries Association has since been providing financial contribution and other valuable and important service to its community.

To provide social interaction, education, cultural, recreational and entertainment facilities for its members. Acquisition and distribution of information on all aspects of life in St. Lucia.To receive contributions e.g. money, donations and grants to be used in the pursuance of its objects.

The St. Lucian Association’s overall aim is to assist targeted areas in St. Lucia where needs have been identified, respond to request for help or assistance, and identify and support other needy projects and activities within our community.  However, since the birth of the district groups e.g. Canaries Assoc., Anse-La-Raye Assoc. and now Unity, the St. Lucian Association has played a less involved role, preferring to let Unity take on the more strategic and directive responsibilities in deciding on major activities and events.  This change although significant, has not reduced the ‘Main Association’s’ influence in any fundamental way and the St. Lucian Association of London (1963) still holds a central position within Unity.

Unity’s Vision and Long-term Plans

Unity has several fund raising activities and initiatives. If you would like to contribute to any these programs, please email one of our committee members at the emails shown above.

Unity has several ambitious plans in addition to a number of developmental goals that it would like to achieve in the future. Some of the key priorities are to: -

• Involve, communicate and support our communities in St. Lucia and the UK;

• Act as the voice of our St. Lucian community in the UK;

• Encourage our UK community to support our objectives and participate in our activities;

• Work with other Caribbean communities and charitable groups;

• Achieve charitable status;

• Seek sponsorship for some of our key activities, in order to generate more funds for charitable and worthy causes;

• Continue to raise funds to meet our objectives and assist our communities.

• Create a website to encourage and improve dialogue and communication with our members and community and simultaneously expand our information base; and

• Develop a twinning programme between a UK local government authority, St. Lucia and Unity, to encourage visits by individuals and groups to and from the linked island, particularly by children and young people, and to develop personal contacts to broaden the mutual understanding of the cultural, recreational, educational and commercial activities of the linked areas.

If you have a project that has a specific date and timeline, and would like to highlight the program details on the front page of this website, please indicate this when filling out your organization online form.

Thank you!
