Today, we pause to honour a woman whose compassion, courage and unwavering dedication touched countless lives across Barbados.

Janette “Jan” Lynton transformed personal tragedy into a legacy of hope, founding Cancer Support Services and ensuring that thousands of Barbadians facing cancer never had to walk their journey alone.

We join the nation in mourning her passing and celebrating a life defined by service, kindness and advocacy. Her contributions will continue to inspire generations to come.

Our heartfelt condolences are extended to her family, friends, colleagues and all those whose lives were enriched by her remarkable work.

🕊️ Rest in peace, Jan Lynton. Your legacy lives on.

💜 Beyond Awareness. Into Action.

On this World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, we are calling on every Barbadian to do more than recognise the issue - we must work together to prevent it.

Elder abuse can take many forms, including financial exploitation, emotional abuse, neglect, abandonment, and physical violence. Too often, it happens in silence, affecting some of the most vulnerable members of our society.

As President Marilyn Rice-Bowen reminds us, legislation alone is not enough. Protecting seniors requires vigilance, compassion, accountability, and a collective commitment to speaking up when something is wrong.

To every senior: you are seen, you are valued, and you deserve protection.

To every Barbadian: if you see it, say something. If you suspect it, report it. Together, we can help create a safer, more respectful society for our seniors.

In Loving Memory of Maria Asgill

We join with her family, friends, former colleagues, and all who knew her in mourning the passing of Maria Aneta Violetta Asgill.

Mrs. Asgill served with distinction on the BARP Board of Directors from 2009 to 2014, generously contributing her time, insight, and experience to the advancement of the organisation. She was also widely respected for her dedicated service in the healthcare sector, where she touched countless lives through her work as a matron.

We are grateful for her contributions, her commitment to service, and the positive impact she made on those around her.

Our sincere condolences are extended to her loved ones during this time of loss. May her memory be a source of comfort and may she rest in peace.
