Foundation for Social Welfare Services: report 2007-2009

Abstract

In a society that is continuously evolving, there will always be persons who find themselves in situations which require support. The Foundation for Social Welfare Services, offers guidance and support to hundreds of people who find themselves in such difficult situations. During these past few years, the Foundation, which incorporates the Agencies Appoġġ, Sedqa and Sapport, was continuously updating its policies to offer a better service to meet the needs of its clients. New laws have been proposed, as well as changes to existing laws. Moreover, new services and benefits have been introduced and others were improved. The Foundation has extended its services within the community to be closer to those in need. Training was provided to professionals, so that they would be in a better position to give the necessary support to the persons who refer to them. The Foundation also provided security and support to children, young people, adults and elderly, during difficult situations in their lives. The services it offers have become widely sought after since they are of great assistance. This report gives an overview of the work carried out by the Foundation in the past few years. It reflects good work practices, which continued to render positive results. Now we have to look forward towards the future and continue developing these services and implement them for the benefit of society’s continuous development.
