Flow has do­nat­ed $20,000 to the Na­tion­al Cen­tre for Per­sons with Dis­abil­i­ties (NCPD), with the con­tri­bu­tion gen­er­at­ed through an ini­tia­tive that linked six­es scored by the Trin­ba­go Knight Rid­ers (TKR) dur­ing the 2026 Caribbean Pre­mier League (CPL) to com­mu­ni­ty sup­port.

The cheque was pre­sent­ed on Thurs­day, Oc­to­ber 8th, at Flow’s Trinci­ty head of­fice by the com­pa­ny’s new­ly ap­point­ed Vice Pres­i­dent for Trinidad and To­ba­go, Ja­son Julien, to NCPD chief ex­ec­u­tive of­fi­cer Ri­car­do Ram­paul.

Un­der the “Every Six Gives Back” ini­tia­tive, Flow pledged TT$200 for every six scored by TKR dur­ing the tour­na­ment, with the funds go­ing to­wards the work of the NCPD.

The ini­tia­tive formed part of Flow’s CPL spon­sor­ship, with par­tic­i­pat­ing mar­kets de­vel­op­ing their own pro­grammes to sup­port caus­es in ed­u­ca­tion, sport, health and com­mu­ni­ty de­vel­op­ment.

Inge Smidts, chief ex­ec­u­tive of­fi­cer of Lib­er­ty Caribbean, which op­er­ates Flow, BTC and Lib­er­ty Busi­ness, said the ini­tia­tive demon­strat­ed how sport­ing part­ner­ships could have an im­pact be­yond the game.

“CPL brought peo­ple to­geth­er through a sport that is deeply wo­ven in­to the fab­ric of Caribbean life. Whether we are sup­port­ing ed­u­ca­tion, young ath­letes, health­care or in­clu­sion, these ini­tia­tives demon­strat­ed that the im­pact of our part­ner­ships can ex­tend well be­yond the bound­ary,” Smidts said.

She added that the pro­gramme trans­formed mo­ments of cel­e­bra­tion dur­ing the tour­na­ment in­to op­por­tu­ni­ties to sup­port young peo­ple, fam­i­lies and or­gan­i­sa­tions work­ing in com­mu­ni­ties across the re­gion.

The ini­tia­tive was im­ple­ment­ed across five mar­kets, with each mar­ket di­rect­ing its con­tri­bu­tion to­wards a lo­cal­ly se­lect­ed cause.
