Outreach

DunnCox recognizes its responsibility as a good corporate citizen to the downtown Kingston community, in which the firm is located, and to the wider Jamaican society. The firm therefore continues lend its support to the meaningful projects and activities undertaken by a number of organizations, groups and service clubs. In particular, those projects which focus on improving the lives of the youth are very special to the DunnCox attorneys.

For many years, the firm has provided material support for a day-care centre serving the downtown community. During 2003, we decided to expand our outreach programme to help meet the pressing educational and recreational needs of the children resident in the immediate environs of this office. To this end, DunnCox chose to partner in a significant way with the St. Andrew's Scots Kirk United Church in the development of its Children's Cultural and Educational Programme.

The Programme began in 1993 and now attracting some 240 students from the downtown area in the age range 7-16 years. It arose from the growing realisation of a need to rescue our children from the streets of the inner city. Designed to monitor the regular school day work, the Programme points students to resource stations, provides counsel for emotional and social well-being and offers exposure to a broad range of the cultural arts for further learning stimulation.

In addition, DunnCox has shown its appreciation for academic excellence by awarding a scholarship and prizes to students pursuing a LL.B. degree at the University of the West Indies.
