For the third year running, HSBC Malta Foundation was one of the main sponsors of L-Istrina. The bank donated €100,000.

HSBC supplemented its donation by additional funds raised this year through various other activities, including a cross-country triathlon which raised €6,000 and a poinsietta-for-charity initiative which raised €5,000.

Over 2,000 poinsiettas were sold and delivered to HSBC employees, relatives, friends and other companies. The poinsietta initiative was spearheaded by HSBC employee Samantha Hollyoak with the help of the HSBC Malta Contact Centre in Qormi and the HSBC Malta Foundation.

The donation was presented to President George Abela and Mrs Abela by HSBC’s head of commercial banking Michel Cordina and members of staff who volunteered to help out.

Organised by the Malta Community Chest Fund, L-Istrina is one of Malta’s major charity events, involving a 12-hour TV marathon in aid of charity, which was aired last Wednesday.

HSBC Malta Foundation has been supporting L-Istrina and the Malta Community Chest Fund for the past 12 years.
