Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bermuda (BBBS) has again been given a grant from the Caribbean Cable and Telecommunications Association (CCTA) after being nominated by Bermuda CableVision.

The $750 grant is the fifth consecutive grant the organisation has received from the CCTA.

The CCTA's Community Charities Programme has given more than $238,000 since it was set up in 1993.

Patrina O'Connor-Paynter, the Fund Development/Marketing Communications Director for BBBS Bermuda, said the organisation was grateful to Bermuda CableVision for its continued support.

The money will go towards the group's Core Mentoring Programme, which pairs volunteers with young people, who are usually in single parent homes.
