Unity, was established as a
direct result of groups sharing a common purpose, coming together to
achieve greater unity and simultaneously raising funds for charitable
and needy causes in
St. Lucia. At a time when St. Lucia is facing a number of
challenges e.g. restructuring in the banana industry – the backbone of
our economy for over 40 years; diversification into other crops and
industries such as offshore businesses and telecommunications, and
withstanding the increasing globalisation and competition, it is
important that Unity contribute and play a part in assisting our
country face those major challenges.
Unity is a voluntary and non-profit
making constituted association. The affiliated groups agree between
themselves how the Association is governed.
Our mission is to forge strong, active and
relevant links between St. Lucians and other nationalities and to
create a strong community spirit based on trust and support through
which our community can be both inspired and also realise its full
potential.
This website will be used as our
communication tool to our members and fellow St. Lucians, both in the
UK and abroad, who possess a similar vision and endeavour to
contributing to St. Lucia in a positive and effective way. We encourage
you send feedback and suggestions on how we can utilize this online
forum to assist us in achieving our goals.
We would like to thank
Jonathan Guy-Gladding for granting us permission to use some of his beautiful
paintings to create our website. Please visit this talented
artist's website,
that features his paintings in which he has captured the true
essence of St. Lucia, its people and the beautiful land we all call
home. Jonathan will hopefully be exhibiting his work in London some
time in the near future. We will keep you posted.
