Republic Bank, UK charity spearhead medical initiative
Article by April 10, 2021
Kidney transplant surgeries in Barbados are scheduled to resume in June as a local surgeon returns from training in the United Kingdom.
This training is being provided by UK-based charity Transplant Links Community (TLC) with funding from Republic Bank (Barbados) Limited (RBBB).
Barbados’ Kidney Transplant Programme was birthed through a partnership between the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and TLC, which sees local doctors and nurses receiving medical training in the care of kidney patients, including the intricacies of kidney transplant operations.
Through its corporate social responsibility programme, the Power to Make a Difference (PMAD), Republic Bank continues to fund the initiative.

.- Grayson Perry is one of a string of top artists and celebrities whose talents have helped raise tens of thousands of pounds for Transplant Links Community, a charity which gives patients who have been dealt a difficult hand the chance to change their life for the better through kidney transplantation.
Ewbanks Auctions in Surrey hosted the auction on December 11, selling original artwork by Perry, leading contemporary artists David Mach and Frank Bowling both of whose work is in national collections, including The Tate David Bowies close friend George Underwood, David Shrigley, whose artwork filled the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square and other notable figures.
