Five community organisations hat are “part of the fabric of Bermuda” have divided $90,000 from proceeds of crime to further their work with young people, Michael Dunkley announced today.

The initiative, known as the Cash Back for Communities programme, was launched last year to benefit helping organisations.

This year’s recipients are the Bermuda Netball Association, the Bermuda Sanshou Association, Beyond Rugby, the Hamilton Parish Football Club, and YouthNet.

“On behalf of the Government and people of Bermuda, I want to thank each recipient for their work with our young people,” Mr Dunkley said.

“Their successes speak for themselves, and I am very pleased the Government is able to help them continue their good work.”
