Half Moon, the luxury resort located in the exclusive Rose Hall enclave, is inviting guests to go Beyond the Beach as a part of its community outreach programme.
Beyond the Beach encourages interested guests to join the Half Moon team in giving back to local communities whether through donating time, goods or money to local programmes.
“We have a longstanding history of quiet activism in our community. Our team leaders and team players take pride in going out into the community to help clean up schools, conduct skills training workshops, mentorship programmes and working in children’s homes and hospitals. Often times some of our guests ask to be included,” said Richard Whitfield, Half Moon’s managing director.
Recognizing the increasing requests from incentive groups, wedding clients and families, the 400-acre luxury resort’s management team formalized the programme for guests to get involved.
Through the Beyond the Beach programme Half Moon will facilitate guests who wish to participate in any local charity programme, whether by direct involvement or donation of cash or kind. “We are simply facilitators to help persons make their contribution to the local community,” said director of sales and marketing, Myrtle Dwyer. The luxury resort will help organize group outings, assist customs clearance for in-kind donations and open the doors to introduce guests to local charitable organizations.
Half Moon currently partners with the Barrett Town All-Age and the SOS Children’s Village both in Barrett Town, a community in the Rose Hall area. The resort also works with the Granville Girls’ Home in Trelawny and the Salvation Army Western Jamaica Division. ”Guests are not limited to these programmes,” Ms. Dwyer said.
“Through our connections we can facilitate programme groups or individual guests wish to participate in, whether it’s reading to children at a children’s home, bringing supplies for local schools or helping to build a home at a children’s village.” she continued.
Guests interested in taking part in Half Moon’s Beyond the Beach programme can contact the resort’s Pre-arrival Concierge at 876-953-2211 or prearrivalconcierge@halfmoon.com.
