Box for Charity in aid of Inspire

Majjistral Park Celebrates 10th Anniversary with launch of new activities

For the second time, Fort Fitness is hosting a physical challenge in aid of Inspire Foundation.

Companies are being invited to send one of their employees to represent them in a Boxing Challenge which will be held on Saturday 28 October, competing against representatives of other companies. Boxing matches will be of 3 rounds of 2 minutes each, with a 1 minute rest in between.

In the run-up to the event, participants will be trained by professional boxer Christian Coqqos, who will provide free classes three times a week. Fort Fitness will supply all necessary protective gear, including head guards, mouth guards and 16 ounce gloves.

Companies or individuals can choose to challenge either another company or another individual, or else be partnered at random with another participant. The General Public is invited to attend and support the participants.

Earlier this year, Fort Fitness hosted another physical challenge for companies in aid of Inspire, an event which was highly successful.

All proceeds from the event will go towards the funding of services offered by Inspire Foundation. The NGO offers therapeutic, educational and leisure services to people with a disability, helping them to reach their full potential. Services are offered at a highly subsidised rate or free of charge, and therefore the NGO depends on donations to maintain such programmes.

Box for Charity is a great opportunity to network, get fit and help charity!

If you are interested, kindly contact Fort Fitness on info@fortfitness.com.mt On the event of the 10th anniversary of the founding of Malta’s first Nature and History Park, the Majjistral Park Management is drawing up a series of extra activities in the Park. As part of its educational programme, it will be inviting schools from both Malta and Gozo to organise excursions to the park by covering the costs of the tours, including bus transport costs to the site and back to school, thus alleviating both parents’ and schools’ limited budgets for extracurricular excursions.

Autumn is a particularly attractive and exciting time in the Park. The first rains bring with them a fresh efflorescence of wild flowers and shrubs which can be studied by visitors who will be assisted by park attendants.

Over the past 10 years the Park, that includes a visitor information centre, has hosted a growing number of visits and school excursions from all over Malta. However the management has noted that the distance to the park, situated as it is in the North West, and transport costs for school trips, are factors that often need to be addressed to make the park ever more accessible to the public.

Schools that wish to benefit from this initiative are asked to register their interest with the Park’s educational officer on 21521291 or by email on richard@majjistral.org. Excursions can start from 0930 am and include a viewing of the Park Documentary at the Visitor Centre and will be on a first come first served basis.

Information on the Park and its activities will also be available at the Park stand at the Genna ta’ Gonna in Floriana on the 15 October.
