Josephine Grima, Senior Manager – HR Operations at GO, said, “All three sanctuaries  which the GO Cares Employee Fund is supporting do a great deal to care for hundreds of stray and abandoned animals and depend solely on donations and voluntary support to keep going. Many GO employees contribute a small sum from their salary every month as a donation to the Fund, enabling us to provide support to various good causes throughout the year.”

SPCA Malta and AAA care for stray and abandoned animals across Malta with the aim of finding new homes for them. Animal Care Malta is focused specifically on the welfare of stray cats in Mellieha. All three organisations work to improve the welfare of animals through veterinary care and neutering.

“What every individual employee contributes might not be much, but as a team, year after year GO manages to substantially aid entities like these sanctuaries. We hope that our financial aid has given our furry friends the care they deserve, and their volunteers much needed assistance,” concluded Ms Grima.
