Philanthropy

Our Philosophy
Registered with the Malta Commissioner for Voluntary Organisations as a Voluntary Organisation (VO/0325), our philanthropy is a core value, enhancing our sense of friendship and camaraderie as we support local Maltese charities.
Each year we raise funds for selected charities, carefully recommended by our Standing Committee for Philanthropy and accepted by the Executive Board.

*************************
2022 was a big year for us. Along with our monthly activities, we held two large fund raising events - Our Christmas Fair on 13 November 2022 at the Intercontinental Malta and the Cocktail Fundraiser at the British High Commission. Both were great fun and a huge success raising nearly €18,000 for our chosen charities. St Jeanne Antide SOAR programme and FIDEM Foundation.
In addition, we actively supported a range of charities, some with whom we have a longstanding relations and a couple of new ones.
