Bank of Valletta is extending its support to Caritas to assist in the agency's Employee Assistance Programme, directed at working people who face various difficulties including drug addiction.

The bank's sponsorship was presented by the bank's CEO, Tonio Depasquale, to Mgr Victor Grech, director of Caritas, during a courtesy visit at the bank's head office in Sta Venera.

Mgr Grech was accompanied by Anglu Fenech, Caritas' administrative secretary.

Caritas offers support services for persons with psychological or psycho-spiritual problems, widowed and separated persons, the elderly, people with gambling or alcohol problems, victims of usury, lonely youths, persons at risk from HIV/AIDS and homeless persons.

Mgr Grech highlighted the fact that, although expenses to run the Caritas' services exceed Lm40,000 a month, the services are offered free of charge.
