The High Commission for Grenada in London has taken a pivotal step in supporting the recovery and rebuilding of Carriacou and Petite Martinique by depositing over £400,000 into Grenada’s Disaster Relief Account.
This significant contribution underscores the essential work of the UK Mission in mobilising resources and galvanizing support for Grenada in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl.
The High Commission has played a leading role in coordinating relief efforts, utilising its strong ties with the UK Diaspora and international partners. Her Excellency, Rachér Croney, expresses deep gratitude to the Grenadian diaspora in the United Kingdom and Europe, Commonwealth nations, international organizations, the business community, private entities, and everyone who has generously offered their time, resources, and financial support in response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Beryl.
In early August, the Mission facilitated the transportation of crucial relief supplies from the United Kingdom to Grenada. This operation, in partnership with British Airways and IAG Cargo—a collaboration between British Airways World Cargo and Iberia Cargo—demonstrates the strategic importance of the Mission in ensuring timely and effective aid delivery.
High Commissioner Rachér Croney emphasised the indispensable role of the UK Mission in Grenada’s recovery, stating, “The dynamic response from our London-based international community has been extraordinary. Through the Mission’s efforts, we have seen a surge in fundraising initiatives, relief drives, and financial contributions, all of which reflect the deep
rooted spirit of unity and resilience. This disaster has highlighted the critical importance of our Diplomatic Missions in fostering community, engaging the diaspora, and strengthening global partnerships. The ongoing work of the UK Mission is crucial as Grenada continues its path toward full recovery. We are deeply grateful for the unwavering support, and with this collective effort, Grenada will undoubtedly emerge stronger and more united.”
The High Commission continues to spearhead fundraising efforts in the United Kingdom, including the upcoming Pegasus Opera Showcase, which will feature a segment dedicated to Grenada. Participants will have the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing recovery initiatives, further demonstrating the Mission’s vital role in sustaining momentum for Grenada’s rebuilding process.
