Engagement and support: Deriv’s hands-on involvement
- Volunteer efforts at Puttinu Cares charity shops: Throughout January 2024, Deriv’s Malta team dedicated their efforts to enhancing the operations of Puttinu Cares’ charity shops in Qawra, Malta. Their activities ranged from sorting donations and managing the storefront to pricing items for sale, demonstrating a hands-on approach to supporting the charity’s mission.
- Carnival celebration highlights: On February 12, a carnival party organised by Deriv volunteers created a memorable day for the affected families. The party was designed to uplift the spirits of the children and their families. This initiative was a part of Deriv’s broader commitment to creating positive, memorable moments for cancer patients and their families.
