Staff from three companies, spearheaded by Fraser Eagle, took part in the Olympic Fun Run 2008 which took place on 22 June 2008 in Bugibba. During this Fun Run, Fraser Eagle raised a total of e675 including e420 from Fraser Eagle, e150 from Mediterranean Insurance Brokers (MIB) and e105 from Dmax Studios.
Fraser Eagle took this initiative to collect donations from its employees, management and working partners in support of Richmond Foundation. Richmond Foundation is an NGO that actively promotes mental health in Malta and works in order to eliminate stigma associated with mental ill health. Richmond Foundation provides a number of community mental health services. The Staff and Organisation Support Programme addresses promotion of mental health and prevention of mental ill health at the workplace. Villa Chelsea rehabilitation facility and the Home Support Service help people who experience mental illness to gain and maintain the necessary skills, as well as provide support and leisure opportunities in order to enable them to live a fulfilling life. Furthermore, the Foundation also manages supportive housing in the form of hostel and shared accommodation and provides opportunities for training, employment and support at the work place. A recent addition to Richmond Foundation’s services is the KIDs Programme which helps children with emotional and behavioral difficulties.
Kevin Dean, Managing Director of Fraser Eagle and the mind behind the idea of this charity run, expressed his gratitude for the participation of his staff and associate companies. “Fraser Eagle conscious of its corporate social responsibility in Malta and in the UK will embrace such initiatives again in the future”, he added.
