A cheerful Christmas party at the Pembroke church hall ended 2010 for some of the 200 children benefitting from the fostering programme at Aġenzija Appoġġ.

The event, organised by the National Foster Carers Association and Appoġġ’s Foster Care Unit, was sponsored by HSBC Malta.

With the assistance of social workers, the Foster Care Unit assigns children to fostering parents until they can be reunited with their biological families.

“HSBC is committed to bringing people with different needs together. Through conferences and other activities, foster parents can meet up and share their various experiences to provide a better family situation to children under their care,” HSBC Bank Malta manager for public affairs, Doriette Camilleri said.

Since 2002, HSBC has been helping the Foster Care Unit by sponsoring informative conferences and workshops where children give their feedback to their fostering families.
