Citadel Insurance donates books

For the second year running, on 14 February 2024, Citadel Insurance celebrated International Book Giving Day by inviting its employees to donate used books for a noble cause.

This initiative which was launched by the Company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy in 2023 is aimed at sustaining a continued support to local voluntary and philanthropic organisations, our environment, individuals in need, and other members of the community, whilst also instilling a love for art, culture and history in our society.

It’s not a coincidence that International Book Giving Day falls on the same day as Valentine’s Day. It is a day to share our love of books with someone — especially children — who might not have access to as many books as we do. International Book Giving Day is about two things — a love of books and a love for fellow human beings.

We are proud to be able to help The Children in Need Foundation in its efforts to nurture an environment for growth, recovery and fulfilment to ensure the dignity and value of each child, for a more inclusive society. This donation will give these children some interesting and fun times to immerse themselves into different worlds of fantasy and adventures that will fuel their imagination.

We also went one step further and a generous amount of books for ‘older’ readers was also donated to the Gozo SPCA, whose efforts to protect and care for animals in Gozo are to be commended. The books will be used by the SPCA to raise funds for their Society.

Thanks to the personal involvement of Citadel employees and their volunteering efforts, we remain committed to support CSR events and activities.
