The Puttinu annual Football and Volleyball Marathon will be held at the Marsa Sports Ground starting on May 18 at 9am.

During the 60-hour marathon, the grounds will come alive with hundreds of students from local schools, who will be attending the event. They will be entertained with games and dances until lunch time.

Details will be given of the three phases Puttinu is planning to go through for its new project in the centre of London to come to life. Puttinu provides accommodation to family members of patients receiving treatment in the UK.

On Good Friday, a €5 million government donation to Puttinu Cares was announced on Xarabank.

Over the past six years, the number of those receiving treatment in the UK has nearly doubled – from 476 people in 2010 to 823 in 2016.

Patients can spend anything between a few days and two years in the UK.
