MoVEMBER 2023
π Movember has become our yearly, customary celebration. At the end of the month, we gather to close off this special month and also commemorate International Menβs Day, which falls on the 19th of November. βπ¨π»βπ¦±Β
π We are proud of our teamβs enthusiasm in raising awareness for menβs health. From growing (and competing!) the famous βstaches to sparking crucial conversations, weβve united in support of menβs health β specifically prostate and testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. We also dedicated each Friday to wearing blue attire. Our sweet tooth was satisfied with delightful cupcakes and donuts, proceeds of which have gone to support Hospice Malta.
π A huge well done goes to all our male team members who participated in the yearly Moustache Challenge! Their extensive effort and dedication to elevate this causeβs awareness were noted from the start! We congratulate our top 3 winners for their βstaches β Larken, followed by Mohamed, and Albert. Interestingly, we had a tie between Larken and Mohamed! A 2nd round of votes ensued and Larken emerged as the 2023 Moustache Challenge winner! π₯Έ
π Although Movember approached its end, our commitment towards menβs well-being stays. π¨π»βπ¦±

Coeliac Disease Testing
At our firm, the health and well-being of our employees is crucial. In line with this commitment, we participated in a coeliac disease testing offered by ITAMA CAP β an EU funded project. Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten. It affects a personβs digestive system and overall health.Β
The testing process was confidential and minimally invasive. It consisted of a brief, online health questionnaire and a visit from a qualified nurse at our office to conduct the testing through a simple and quick finger prick with point-of-care testing kits.Β
We aimed to create a safe, informative, and supportive environment for those potentially affected by or interested to learn more about coeliac disease. Each employee was also offered to invite their family members to undergo this testing.Β
Results were communicated discreetly and confidentially to all participants. For those who may have tested positive, we know that they will be provided with professional medical advice and the required support.Β
We are committed to fostering a healthy workplace environment where everyone feels supported and empowered in managing their health. As a firm, we aim to continue to introduce similar initiatives that promote a healthy lifestyle, prioritise employee wellness, and provide resources for making the right health-related choices. ππ»

Wine-ding Down!
π·π³βοΈ Precisely on the first day of summer, we spent our afternoon sipping wine, gazing at the scenic vineyards, and catching up at the Meridiana Wine Estate in Ta Qali. ππ·
Our afternoon was set in motion with an explanation about the history of the winery, followed by a visit to the wineryβs process hall where we viewed the independently temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks used for wine-making and its storage. ππ
We then proceeded to the underground cellars containing French oak barriques used for the maturation of red wine. π·π Next came the most-awaited part β the wine-tasting! π·π
Four different wines were poured into wine glasses and served to be enjoyed in the wineryβs charming terrace overlooking the vineyards. π·π We helped ourselves to mouth-watering charcuterie boards and cold pasta salads and just like that, the hours seemed to rush by in just a minute! π§π
The tranquil and serene environment ensured a superb start to our summer 2023 season and a merited break in each otherβs good company. π₯π³π

Audit Team Event
On the first Friday of June 2023, we treated our Audit Team for lunch outside of the office as part of our team-building initiatives.

We enjoy spending time and unwinding with our team and look forward to more events and incentives which we are planning for the upcoming summer months.

International Day Of Charity
This day is a special reminder that the simplest acts of charity can yield a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need. π₯° We usually celebrate events where we indulge ourselves. This time around, it was time for us to give something back and therefore shifted our attention to those going through a rough patch in their lives.Β
For the past few days, all our employees donated money so that we could purchase food items to donate to Foodbank Lifeline. π This Food Bank helps individuals, couples and families living in Malta who are struggling to put food on their tables. We thought there is no better day than the International Day of Charity, celebrated globally on the 5th of September, to hand our food donations to this noble foundation and to spread awareness.Β
To celebrate our initiative and this charitable occasion, we dressed in blue and white because this day also commemorates Mother Teresaβs death and remarkable charity work throughout her life. πΒ
We sincerely hope that our thoughts make a positive impact on those in distress. As a team, we also encourage anyone reading this to do the same, either through food donations or monetary assistance to either Food Bank Malta, like we did, or any other just cause that you might believe in. πΒ

Some things in life are worth waiting for and so was this event!
