Lidl Malta donates €5,000 to five NGOs

Lidl Malta, the country’s leading supermarket with eight outlets spread around the Maltese Islands, strives to positively impact its employees, the environment and the society around it on a daily basis. This is why the company involves itself, together with its team members, in various projects with a number of NGOs. One of the events taken up by Lidl Malta as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility programme, is the donation of €5,000 worth of Lidl vouchers to five NGOs representing different areas of the Maltese community.

Caritas, Dar Merhba Bik, MSPCA, Oasi Foundation and YMCA − these were the five NGOs that received the donation during a ceremony that was held on 17 December at Lidl Malta’s Head Office in Luqa. “We have the Maltese society at heart and realise the importance of our role in the community. We consider ourselves to be part of the society in which we operate and we want to make our contribution, not only through our daily work, but also through practical and locally rooted initiatives. Christmas is a very special occasion for all of us, therefore we wanted to spread the joy during this festive period with the community which surrounds us. We have selected these five different NGOs because they touch different social aspects, all of which are equally important, and we hope to aid in their noble missions,” said Mark Farrugia, Regional director of Lidl Malta.

Apart from this donation and the local CSR projects that are being carried out on a monthly basis, Lidl Malta was once again the main sponsor of the annual Puttinu Cares Football and Volleyball marathon earlier in September and will be collaborating with Id-Dar Tal-Providenza with the inauguration of their new premises later on this month.
