St. John’s, Antigua – Community First Cooperative Credit Union proudly visited The Victory Centre this week, continuing its longstanding commitment to community development with a heartfelt donation of $15,000 to support the school’s work with children who have special needs.
Located in the heart of Antigua, The Victory Centre is a beacon of hope and progress for children with learning and developmental challenges.
