Minister Turner Commends Staff, Sets Ambitious Vision for 2026 in New Year Message

Forward Together into a New Year of Purpose and Impact

As we welcome a new year, I want to pause and sincerely thank each of you for the dedication, resilience, and compassion you bring to the work of the Ministry of Social and Urban Transformation. Your efforts touch lives every day, often in ways that are not always seen, but are deeply felt by the people we serve.

Moving forward together is more than a phrase. It reflects our shared commitment to unity, teamwork, and collective responsibility. The challenges facing our communities are complex, but when we advance side by side with empathy, professionalism, and purpose, we become a powerful force for positive change.

In the year ahead, let us recommit ourselves to innovation, accountability, and service excellence. Let us continue to strengthen our programmes, uplift the most vulnerable, and transform not only physical spaces, but lives and communities.

Every role within this Ministry matters, and every contribution moves Antigua and Barbuda closer to a more inclusive and resilient society.
I am proud of the work we have done, and even more confident in what we can achieve together in the year ahead.

Let us move forward with renewed energy, bold ideas, and an unshakable belief in the power of service.
May the new year bring you good health, strength, and fulfillment.

Thank you for standing with me and with each other as we move forward together.

Happy New Year and continued blessings.

Hon. Rawdon Turner
Minister of Social and Urban Transformation
