HSBC Malta Foundation renews support for OASI Foundation’s Youths 4 Youths initiative in Gozo

The HSBC Malta Foundation has renewed its support for the OASI Foundation’s Youths 4 Youths initiative, a Gozo-based youth programme focused on prevention, awareness, and community engagement. Now in its latest edition, the initiative will take place on 16 September 2026 at the OASI Foundation in Victoria, Gozo, between 8.15am and 1.30pm, bringing together young participants and educators from across the island for a day of educational and recreational activities.

The HSBC Malta Foundation will continue its support for this year’s event, building on a partnership that has backed the programme since its early editions and so underlining its ongoing commitment to youth-focused community initiatives in Gozo.

The initiative is designed for school-aged participants, combining educational sessions with interactive activities aimed at promoting wellbeing. This year’s program will include hands-on experiential learning activities such as a basic first aid and life skills session for children, and interactive team-based challenges designed to build communication, cooperation, and confidence in real-life situations. Schools, educators and young people are encouraged to participate and make the most of this fun and educational experience.

Speaking about the renewed support, Glenn Bugeja, on behalf of the HSBC Malta Foundation, said the initiative remains closely aligned with the organisation’s community focus. “We are proud to continue supporting the OASI Foundation’s Youths 4 Youths initiative. Empowering young people and investing in prevention and education programmes is central to our community strategy, and this event continues to make a meaningful impact year after year,” said Glenn Bugeja.

OASI Foundation CEO Noel Xerri said the continued partnership plays an important role in sustaining the programme’s reach and impact among young people in Gozo. “This support from the HSBC Foundation enables us to keep expanding the initiative and ensures we can continue offering meaningful, practical experiences that help young people build awareness, resilience and life skills in a safe environment,” he said.
