Central Bank of Malta marks Pink October with Awareness and Fundraising Initiatives

The Central Bank of Malta marked Pink October on Wednesday, 14th October, with a series of initiatives across all three of its premises aimed at raising awareness and supporting those affected by breast cancer. In a show of solidarity, the Bank's premises are also being lit in pink throughout the entire month of October.

Organised by the Central Bank's Cultural Activities Committee, staff were encouraged to wear pink attire in solidarity with breast cancer patients and survivors. Upon arrival, staff members across all locations were welcomed with specially decorated pink muffins, serving as a sweet reminder of the month's vital message.

The highlight of the day was an educational lunch-hour lecture delivered by Ms Esther Sant, a cancer survivor and co-founder of the Action for Breast Cancer Foundation. Ms Sant shared her personal journey and emphasized the importance of early detection and continuous support.

The Action for Breast Cancer Foundation has been selected as the Central Bank of Malta's beneficiary for this year's initiative. Staff members and the organisation will be collecting donations throughout October and November to support the Foundation's work in helping patients and funding essential resources.
