Structure A President, a Secretary and a Treasurer are the officially registered Administration team with an assisting subcommittee for administration and accounts. We have various volunteers. We employ 2 disabled persons through Access to Employment Scheme. Budget and Sources of Funding We depend on donations which amount around Eur12,000 in a year. At times we win sponsorship through small initiative scheme by The Malta Council for Voluntary Organisations Bank of Valletta and HSBC Malta Foundation support us in small amounts around Eur650 for each 10 sessions and competition prizes for children and youths with lesser opportunities. We deliver sessions online and also at the Foundation for Educational Services - so called 3-16 club. Where children aged 3-16 have to stay some hours extra at school as there would be no-one at home Our Supporters We get support from various other organisations such as Attard Parish Centre, Ahmadyjja Musulmana, Grandparents Malta, the Gozo Mental Health Association... We are member of MaltaCan Foundation an umbrella organisation for groups working in the best interest of children. We are supported by the Commissioner for Mental Health since our main agenda is to combat Parental Alienation in which cases there might be mental health issues. We are affiliated with Parental Alienation Europe and we are in touch with numerous entities working on parental alienation across the world... We are members of The International Council for Shared Parenting. Locally we have a few psychotherapists and family lawyers supporting us. But the demand increasingly needs we commission professionals to address family wellbeing. In the long term such investment saves many family situations... we try to keep families away from court as much as possible.
