Department of Community Development and Social Services

Please take note of our upcoming office closure:

Let’s throw it back to one month ago!

Our Community Development Officer for District 2, Mr. Delroy Prentice, continued his support to the McKnight community through a donation to Halliday Smith Primary School’s Annual Sports Day.

Mr. Prentice also engaged other community members and stakeholders to contribute toward the event, highlighting the power of partnership and collective support.

Our officers are committed to working together with the community, for the community.

Sharing in Caring. Let your workplace join in the GOOD.

Staff of the Department of Community Development and Social Services got the chance to unwind with a ‘Positive Pause’ session - the second of its kind - on Thursday, July 14th at its Lime Kiln offices.

Held as a chance for staff to be refreshed and rejuvenated, Thursday’s activity featured a dynamic and inspiring session by His Excellency Kenny Douglas, who demonstrated physical and mental exercises while reinforcing the importance of being consistent. A known Physiotherapist and Trainer, Ambassador Douglas also shared a practical four-day exercise routine, equipping officers to be active and focused to face the challenges of the week.

‘Positive Pause’ then continued with games that helped staff relax, unwind and connect as a rejuvenated body.

The Department thanks Ambassador Douglas for his impactful presence and motivation to the CDSS team.

Kindly take note of early closure on Thursday 10th July 2025
