Banks DIH Limited brought Christmas cheer to several communities across Georgetown on December 23, 2025, as the company distributed toys and hosted festive activities in Stevedore, South Sophia and Albouystown.
The initiative saw children and families interacting with Santa and his helpers, posing for photographs and taking part in celebrations aimed at spreading holiday joy. At each location, toys were distributed to children, creating what the company described as a warm and memorable experience for residents.
