7 maltatoday | SUNDAY • 31 AUGUST 2025 COMMERCIAL Homes of Quality supports the YMCA Malta's Adopt a DAR initiative AT Homes of Quality we firmly believe that dignity and well- being are rooted in having a place of safety. Alongside YM- CA Malta, we recognise that a home and a secure refuge are not luxuries but fundamental human rights. This shared con- viction has brought us to join the YMCA's remarkable cam- paign 'Adopt a DAR', launched in the lead-up to the organisa- tion's 50th anniversary in 2026. Through this project YMCA is inviting compassionate individ- uals and organisations to adopt the essence of its mission – to provide holistic care for peo- ple experiencing homelessness in Malta. As part of their com- mitment, Homes of Quality's donation to symbolically adopt a DAR, strengthens the chain of support for those who need it most. Says Alex Papagiorcopulo, the Branch Manager of Homes of Quality in Sliema: "As part of the Frank Salt Real Estate Group, we are lucky enough to deal with people who can afford to buy homes, luxury ones at times, and some even buy mul- tiple properties. In doing so on a daily basis, we sometimes get blinded to the stark reality that some people do not have the means to shelter, a roof over their heads or a place to call a home. We therefore gladly give support to such initiatives and encourage those who can to do the same." Every adoption has an imme- diate impact. It helps secure safe shelter and a warm bed for someone in crisis, ensures access to nutritious meals, and provides clothing and person- al hygiene supplies. It funds one-on-one psychosocial and mental health support ses- sions, as well as participation in workshops that prepare in- dividuals for employment and independence. Importantly, it also contributes to follow-up care, advocacy, and reintegra- tion planning so that this is not a temporary handout but a step toward long-term transforma- tion. Grahame Salt, Director of the Frank Salt Group stated that: "DAR not only stands for 'home' in Maltese, it also stands for DIGNITY, ACCESS and REFUGE offered by the YMCA to individuals and families in crisis. Your contribution, like that already made by Homes of Quality, will make a huge differ- ence to those in need's lives." Whether you give as an indi- vidual, a family or a business, your adoption donation be- comes part of something great- er. All adoption donations will also be acknowledged during the upcoming YMCA fundrais- ing marathon, which will be broadcast live across all nation- al TV stations on 20 September 2025. We invite you to make your contribution today. To donate €15: Mobile Pay 5170 2068. To donate €25: Mobile Pay 5180 2007. To donate €50: Mobile Pay 5190 2073.
