Nigel Holness, managing director, commended the Best Care Foundation on its contribution of more than 30 years of ensuring that the physically and mentally challenged get the attention and assistance they need for self actualisation.

He said that the bank had noted and was "very impressed with the creative means being used by the foundation to remain relevant and viable".
