Persons with a disability attending the Day Services for Persons with a Disability within Aġenzija Sapport, will benefit from the installation of 240 Limited’s artificial turf within the Mtarfa Day Centre.

240 Limited’s trading partners, Lano Sports, has gently donated artificial turf to Aġenzija Sapport’s Day Services, while 240 Limited has fully sponsored its installation. Agenzija Sapport will benefit from the enhancement of the yard and at the same time benefit from the less abrasive flooring system.

In a comment given by 240 Limited’s director Desmond Mizzi, he said that: “We are most certainly delighted to have helped the Day Centre as well as the community of persons with a disability. It gives us pleasure to know that they can enjoy the outdoors more than before due to the soft system of artificial turf.”

The area covered with the donated artificial turf will be used for sport and leisure activities not only by the persons with a disability attending the Mtarfa Centres, but also by clients attending the other centres within the localities of Sta Venera, Ħal Far, Fleur de Lys, Marsascala, Swatar, Cottonera and Paola. Currently, there are over 400 persons with a disability benefiting from Aġenzija Sapport’s Day Services. Out of these, 92 attend the Mtarfa Day Centre.

The aim of the day programmes is both to assist persons with a disability to develop their potential as well as to give support to their family, thus enabling persons with a disability to continue living within the community. Community care/living helps in the integration process of persons with a disability within society, thus also giving them more independence. Through the participation and contribution of these people, the community at large is enriched. The role of these day services is to strive to advocate for and promote the full involvement and integration of all persons with a disability.
