Wayde Watson

I am running because I want to make a positive difference in my constituency and help improve the lives of the people who call this community home. I believe in serving people from the heart and taking a hands-on approach to leadership. Over the past several years we have implemented more than 32 programmes and initiatives each year aimed at improving opportunities and quality of life for residents. My focus remains on listening to the community, supporting families, and continuing the work that strengthens Bains Town and Grants Town.

Ensuring families across the constituency have access to food support and social assistance when they need it.

Helping families address minor structural repairs and home improvements that improve safety and living conditions.

Connecting residents to job opportunities, skills training, and pathways that support entrepreneurship and financial independence.

Delivering measurable progress through action, accountability, and continued commitment to our community.

A community initiative that encourages youth confidence, leadership, and participation among young girls in Bains Town and Grants Town.

A regular programme providing meals and fellowship while supporting residents and strengthening community connections.

Assisting families with access to portable water installations to improve living conditions and household health.

A community-based programme bringing residents together through faith, fellowship, and support.
