Għargħur’s Local Council is benefiting from HSBC’s new initiative that is helping the realisation of small-scale projects and programmes in the local community.  The Council will utilise the HSBC funds to restore niches and statutes around the locality, preserving cultural heritage and embellishing the area.

HSBC Malta is giving every Local Council in Malta and Gozo a contribution of Lm1,000 (€2329.37), for community initiatives for the environment, children, education or heritage in their area.

“Once agreements are reached with each Council, HSBC will be contributing a total of Lm70,000 (€163,056.14) to this initiative,” said Shaun Wallis, HSBC Malta’s Chief Executive Officer.  “Local Council remits are vast but finances are limited, and often there are so many little improvements that need to be done in the local community, so we are delighted to be of help.”
