Who we are

Irma Charles

Treasurer

"I have been a Committee Member since 2004 and I have held the role of Secretary for the last six years. I joined the team as I have a nephew with special needs and I know the challenges that children with special needs face. I know the difference that the work of the charity makes to the lives of the children at SASSE as I visit Grenada on a regular basis, and I have made several visits to the school to meet with the children, staff and principle. It is always heart-warming to be welcomed by the children and be recognised as the "Sunshine lady". I also personally sponsor a pupil at the school. I work for a charity supporting older people in the community, many of whom have challenging health issues. I strongly believe in the saying that charity begins at home and I am committed to supporting those in the community and in the Caribbean."
