  • DAR Bjorn
  • Caritas Malta
  • Dar Merhba Bik Foundation
  • Fondazzjoni Nazareth

  • Richmond Foundation - Malta
  • Fondazzjoni Arka
  • The Malta Trust Foundation
  • Puttinu Cares
  • Dar Tal-Providenza Siggiewi

The initiative has been met with widespread praise, with colleagues at Attard Brothers Group commending his commitment to making a difference. His determination and generosity serve as a powerful reminder of how business leaders can inspire positive change beyond the boardroom.
