A group of BOV employees volunteer at id-Dar tal-Providenza

A group of employees from Bank of Valletta spent a day volunteering at id-Dar tal-Providenza in Siġġiewi, lending their support across a range of activities, including cleaning, kitchen duties, washing the Home’s vehicles, and carrying out general maintenance work.

The Bank has long been a proud supporter of this organisation through a number of initiatives, most notably the annual BOV Volleyball Marathon, which this year will be held between the 16^th and 18^th July and, for the first time, at the MFCC in Ta’ Qali.

This volunteering activity at id-Dar tal-Providenza forms part of the Bank’s ongoing commitment to the community through a structured volunteering programme that has seen strong employee participation during the first months of 2026. Around 100 employees from different units within the Bank dedicated their time to support nine NGOs working in the social and environmental sectors. Between February and April, the NGOs supported were Embrace, Inspire, Voice of Inclusion Gozo, Dar Papa Franġisku, Caritas Malta, Conservatorio Vincenzo Bugeja, MSPCA, Din l-Art Ħelwa, and Grow 10 Trees.

The Bank offers its people one day of volunteering leave, in addition to their standard leave entitlement. Launched in 2024, this initiative forms part of the Bank’s ongoing commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility and highlights the strong link between teamwork and a positive impact on society.

Ernest Agius, BOV Chief Operations Officer, stated, “Volunteering activities, such as this one at id-Dar tal-Providenza, continue to be an important pillar for Bank of Valletta, as they strengthen our engagement with the community we serve. The strong participation of employees since the launch of the volunteering initiative in 2024 reflects both management’s and our employees’ genuine commitment to give back and make a positive impact on society.”

Ray Debattista, BOV Chief People & Culture Officer, highlighted the bond that these volunteering initiatives create among employees outside their working environment. “They reflect the Bank’s commitment to employee well-being, given the positive impact that such experiences have on our staff’s personal development and overall engagement,” he said.

The NGOs involved welcomed the employees’ support and expressed appreciation for the time, energy, and enthusiasm dedicated to their respective causes.
