“SportMalta works with various governmental and even non-governmental entities to continue to make a difference in people’s lives. In this Sports Feast we are seeing how a government entity and the voluntary sector together with sports associations are conveying a message, that with professional work, we can make a difference. That way, you have a sports audience that is making a philanthropic contribution, “said Education, Sports, Youth, Research and Innovation Minister Clifton Grima.

Suffice it to say that we offer a service to around 1,300 families in need, ”said Delia.
