After participating in the CSR Day back in March, MSV Life plc decided to extend its support to the Caritas Shelter at San Blas. It teamed up with its associate company Middlesea Insurance plc to organise a dress-down day to raise funds. The money collected was used to purchase kitchen items and bedding that the shelter needs to cater for the daily needs of its residents. 

The Caritas Shelter at San Blas offers help to homeless males with a drug abuse problem. It aims at providing residents with a caring, homely and warm environment to give them the stability and support that may be missing from their lives. It also acts as a concrete way of containing the criminal activity associated with drug addiction and homelessness, in order to provide a safer society.

Members of staff of Middlesea Group visited the shelter on 30 April which gave them with the opportunity to interact with the residents. After lunch, which was prepared by the residents, everyone was encouraged to participate in an experience-sharing session. The presentation of gifts, followed by afternoon coffee, concluded what was a really fulfilling experience. Residents and staff at the shelter were very grateful and expressed their appreciation towards Middlesea Group and its staff.

In line with its corporate social responsibility policy, the Group is committed to helping institutions such as the shelter at San Blas, which as well as providing a safer and better quality of life for vulnerable people, also benefits Maltese Society as a whole.
