With the onset of the Covid-19 Pandemic in March 2020, our credit union and country lost many loved ones as a result of this deadly virus, and we continue to grapple with its lingering adverse impact on the well-being of our members. In August 2022, The Communal, in partnership with Agostini Insurance Brokers (G’da) Ltd. and Guardian General Insurance (O.E.C.S) Ltd., became the first credit union in Grenada to introduce a Group Health and Life Insurance Plan to fulfil our ongoing commitment to safeguard our valued members and their loved ones.
This Plan provides you with insurance coverage for medical, dental, vision, life, accidental death, and dismemberment, and is open to members who already have insurance, allowing you the opportunity to further reduce your out-of-pocket cost. Time to get covered! Join The Communal’s Members Group Health and Life Insurance Plan today!

In honor of our beloved Founder, the Rodney V. Mauricette Memorial Scholarship was established in 1988 to provide scholarships – later expanded to include grants – to the children of our members, upon successful completion of their Caribbean Primary Exit Assessment (CPEA), to defray the high cost associated with their secondary education.
The scholarship award provides educational assistance over the entire 5-year period of the child’s secondary education while the grant award is a one-off payment. Over the years, countless children of our valued members have received assistance under this programme.
Eligible members are encouraged to apply during the period from 15th June to 15thJuly each year.
In 2008, our former General Manager, Mr. Brian Campbell, established The Communal’s Empowerment Skills Training Program, which is aimed at providing our members with opportunities to acquire new skills in areas such as gourmet cooking, sewing, cake and pastry making. Following his passing, the Board of Directors rename the Program to its current name. Additionally, in partnership with T. A. Marryshow Community College (TAMCC), the programme offerings have expanded significantly over the years to other areas such as floral arrangements, cake and pastry decoration, gourmet construction, carpentry, refrigeration and air-conditioning, plumbing, among other areas, and hundreds of members have benefited. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to empower yourself!
