On Friday, December 19, 2025, Mr Lesmore Smith, Head of Top Priority Security Services, handed over a donation of essential mobility and care items. These include wheelchairs, walking sticks, mobility aids, and bath chairs. 

Aged population has different needs 

Mrs Ritzia Turnbull-Smith, who represented the Acting Chief Social Development Officer, expressed her delight at the gesture from Mr Smith and his company. 

“We all know that our aged population is increasing, and they have lots of different needs, and each one of these items that are donated can benefit somebody out in the community, some vulnerable person in the community, whether in our residential facility, in our home care program.”

Mrs Turnbull-Smith added that the donation did not come as a surprise as Mr Smith has been a partner of the Social Development Department for many years. 

He recently donated an ambulance to Jost Van Dyke. 

“He has been a part of us for some time now, and we just thank him for his interest in the aged population…So Mr Smith, again, on behalf of Ms Sherma George, our Acting Chief Social Development Officer, we want to say thank you so much.”

We don’t talk we do

Mr Smith added that it is always a pleasure for him and Top Priority Security Services to give back to the community, especially the seniors. 

“We don't talk about seniors, we do for seniors, and most of our community as well.”

The donation was made possible through collaboration with a friend who, Mr Smith said, expressed interest when he informed them of the need. 

“He shipped them here to me, and I decided I'm not giving them to anyone else but this Senior Citizen Program…I’m happy to be a part of this community’s constant growth and development, and I will continue to help our young people and our seniors.”

Mr Smith also extended season greetings to everyone. 

“On behalf of Top Priority, myself, family, friends, thank you very much and Merry Christmas to all you good people, especially the seniors.”
