St. George’s, Grenada – May 4th, 2026 – Grenada Co-operative Bank Limited hosted a special financial literacy workshop for the young stars of the 2026 Fundaytion initiative on the sister isle. The session, held on April 18th at Bishop’s College in Carriacou, focused on the importance of savings and building smart financial habits from an early age.
Mrs. Cameile Charles Cummings, Operations Officer, Carriacou Retail Banking Unit, and Mrs. Ericka Hosten, Manager, Marketing & Customer Insight Unit, facilitated the interactive presentations, defining key terms and identifying practical ways the participants can save money and make responsible spending decisions. Members from Co-op Bank’s senior management team were also present, including Mr. Willvorn Grainger, Chief Experience Officer.
The Fundaytion participants actively engaged in a series of fun and educational activities designed to help them differentiate between needs and wants, and to better determine whether they should spend, save or split their weekly allowances. At the end of the workshop, the Co-op Bank team reminded the students that starting to save now will help them develop good money habits for the future.
“As Grenada’s only local commercial bank, we are fully invested in seeing young people succeed in all aspects of their lives, whether that is performing on stage or making smart financial decisions,” explained Mrs. Hosten. She further noted “We are proud to support the Fundaytion initiative and contribute to the holistic development of our nation’s youth”.
Fundaytion, first staged in 2023, is a youth initiative that promotes creativity, teamwork, confidence and self-expression. Originally conceptualized as a singing competition, Fundaytion has become an avenue for discovering and nurturing musical talent, whilst instilling valuable life skills. Co-op Bank remains committed to investing in initiatives that positively impact communities through culture and performing arts, sports, health, education and the environment.
