BNF Bank employees come together to raise awareness for autism


In a heartfelt drive to generate more awareness around autism, the team at BNF Bank came together during April – designated as World Autism Month – and took part in several activities to increase consciousness about this complex developmental condition.

In a strong symbolic gesture, employees wore all shades of blue to the office, while also indulging in delectable treats procured in support of Inspire Malta. Furthermore, staff were encouraged to integrate the organisation into their salary donation scheme, amplifying the impact of their generosity.

In another display of support, BNF Bank made a contribution to the Malta Trust Foundation during its telethon, with staff eagerly manning the phones to facilitate donations. Meanwhile, the Bank’s youngest stakeholders, the children of its employees, were inspired to express their creativity by crafting drawings aligned with this year’s World Autism Awareness Day theme – “Colour not Invisible.” These poignant artworks now adorn the walls of the Bank’s Mosta Branch, serving as reminders of the importance of visibility and acceptance.

The bank extended its outreach to the Marquis Di Villa Bianca music and arts centre, presenting a generous donation of musical instruments. At the heart of the initiative is a profound belief of the transformative power of music, utilised as a therapeutic medium for children navigating the spectrum.

Through these multifaceted endeavors, BNF Bank not only raises awareness but also cultivates a culture of empathy and inclusivity, ensuring that every individual, regardless of neurodiversity, feels seen, heard, and valued.

Alison Grech, Head of the Bank’s HR Unit said “Understanding autism is crucial if we are to go beyond the common misconceptions and myths surrounding this developmental condition. If everybody is educated as to how it impacts such children, individuals and their families, we will be in a better position to relate and to lessen the stigma that surrounds it.”

Lorrieann Vella, Head of Unit for Marketing and Communication said “The Bank felt the need to raise awareness and to show support to our staff members who benefit from the services of the Malta Trust Foundation and Inspire. Coming together in such collaborative initiatives is how we strive to make a difference in the community.”
