On July 27, 2026, a small but meaningful handover ceremony took place at the St. Kitts branch of TDC Financial Services Company Limited, marking a new step in the firm’s ongoing commitment to local community wellness and public education.
During the event, Claudia Moore, a Credit Support Clerk with the company, formally presented a brand-new 55-inch Samsung 4K Crystal Ultra HD Smart TV to representatives from the National Counselling Centre (NCC), the leading mental health service provider for the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis. Valued at over $3,200, the donated device comes equipped with a 60Hz refresh rate, Samsung’s Tizen operating system, a slim AirSlim profile, crisp vibrant color display, and built-in streaming functionality, making it well-suited for multimedia educational use.
In remarks following the handover, TDC Financial Services General Manager Steve Farier emphasized the interconnected nature of financial stability and personal well-being, a core philosophy guiding the company’s corporate social responsibility work. “We have long held that financial wellness and personal well-being go hand in hand,” Farier explained. “Investing in organizations that prioritize mental health and emotional support doesn’t just change individual lives—it helps build stronger, more resilient communities across our islands. This donation will expand the NCC’s capacity to educate, empower, and support the people who rely on their services, and we are proud to stand with them in that mission.”
Valencia Smithen-Byron, Deputy Director and Clinical Counsellor at the NCC, accepted the donation on the centre’s behalf, expressing sincere gratitude for TDC Financial Services’ targeted generosity. She outlined that the new smart TV will be installed in the NCC’s reception area, turning underused waiting time into an accessible opportunity for mental health education and reflection. “This device will let us transform our reception space into a dynamic educational hub for clients and visitors,” Smithen-Byron explained. “Guests will be able to access evidence-based mental health tips, practical coping strategies, general wellness messaging, our centre’s official podcasts, community outreach announcements, and a range of other psychoeducational content that boosts mental health literacy. It will not only improve the overall client experience, but also help us extend our public education reach far beyond our one-on-one counselling sessions.”
She added that the donation directly aligns with the NCC’s core mission: to deliver high-quality, accessible mental health care to all residents of St. Kitts and Nevis. “TDC’s generosity will directly advance our work to raise public awareness of mental health and expand access to life-changing support,” she noted.
The contribution is just the latest in a series of community-focused partnerships from TDC Financial Services, which has a long track record of collaborating with local nonprofits and public service organizations to advance health, education, and inclusive development across the region. For the company, initiatives like this donation are more than corporate giving—they are an investment in the long-term vitality of the communities the firm serves.
