‘Lifeline Financial Programmes’ launched to boost local money management
Mr Gladstone, speaking to Virgin Islands News Online (VINO) today, March 23, 2021, said the company, which is located at 4 Mill Mall, Tortola, was created out of the need to end financial struggles in the territory.
Company created to help Persons in VI- Gladstone
“COVID-19 has devastated not only the BVI, but the rest of the world and many of our people are currently suffering as a result. It was upon seeing the suffering of our people we decided to create an entity designed to address the financial needs of our people, whether you are a regular man on the street, or you are a VIP. So that is where the company began initially,” he said.
Mr Gladstone also remarked that the company, which was launched on March 17, 2021, was born out of the need for a diversified financial sector geared to provide short-term, medium-term and long-term support for all people living and working within the VI.
However, in clearing up what the financial institution does, he said Lifeline does not offer investment, banking or loan services, “rather, we provide short-term, medium-term and long-term financial plans strategised and personalised to address your specific financial needs as we provide cash-generating incentives to eradicate the financial needs of every member of the programme.”
He said in other words, ‘Lifeline is a lifesaver’ in an era where many are facing serious financial chaos.
“It is therefore of paramount importance that everyone gets registered now to ensure that you have financial support before you need it, so you will be able to rise above the devastating economic waves of our time.”
Company opened to all sectors
In addition to regular persons, those who can sign up for Lifeline include churches, schools, banks, insurance companies, corporate bodies and government can also benefit significantly from the plans offered by Lifeline Financial Programmes.
To start, Lifeline Financial Programme currently offers six plans for everyone.
“Lifeline offers quarterly (three months) plans, six-month plans and annual (one year) plans. Lifeline currently pays out from six hundred dollars (US $600.00) at the basic three - month level to twelve thousand (US $12,000.00) at the basic annual level, and six thousand (US $6,000.00) at the basic VIP level to one hundred and twenty thousand (US $120,000.00) at the annual VIP level,” Mr Gladstone said.
He said all leaders and individuals should immediately see the company’s Assessment Coordinator, Mrs S. Ganga, to take a look at their strategic plans available to position the nation for financial stabilisation.
Programme is needed - Hon Flax-Charles
“No need to become a victim of COVID-19. The BVI is a strong nation! We simply need to tap into our limitless capacity to rebuild ourselves to stay ahead of any eventuality which may arise, and Lifeline Financial Programmes is now here to make this a reality for the territory,” Mr Gladstone said.
Present at the launch also was Junior Minister for Trade and Economic Development, Hon Shereen D. Flax-Charles (AL), who endorsed the programme as one that is needed at a time when persons are struggling financially as a result of the pandemic.

From what I know, the talent search programme was first interrupted by HURRICANES IRMA AND MARIA which destroyed the equipment used for the production of the programme in the year 2017. Just as they replaced them, COVID-19 struck in 2020. So, Mr. BLOODY SCAMMER above, please flush your brain! I stand in defence of Gladstone. Please step back!
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”
