Correctional facility voluntary organisations receive €18,000 in financial aid

NGOs Prison Fellowship and the Suret il-Bniedem Foundation were presented with an €18,000 grant by Minister for Home Affairs Carmelo Abela, from the Corradino Correctional Facility funds allocated for philanthropic work.

Minister Abela praised the "integral role of these two organisations, and spoke of the need for stronger dialogue  between the organisations and and the correctional facility in order to do more good for the inmates.

He said that the Rise Foundation also received government help in recent months, in order to continue its work on the project from the Sister Maria Adele Baldacchino home, where a number of residents are participating in a social integration programme within the community.
