National Lottery Employee Blood Donation and Sustainability Drive in aid of the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS).

On 2nd October, National Lottery employees united to support the NBTS by donating blood at the National Blood Donation Centre in Pieta. The initiative comes at a time when the NBTS has issued urgent claims requesting blood donations due to the current low blood supply.
“We are very happy that our call for blood donation amongst our Group employees had such a positive response,” said Miriam Cardona – Human Resources Manager at IZI Group. “We are proud of our employees’ enthusiasm and dedication to join this initiative with the aim to support the NBTS. Blood donation is a life-saving act, and we believe our collective effort can make a significant impact.”
In addition to the blood drive, National Lottery further extended its support to the NBTS by sponsoring the purchase of environmentally friendly power banks. These devices were distributed to students at the University of Malta during Freshers’ Week. Students who registered as blood donors received a power bank as a gesture of appreciation and as a reminder of the importance of regular blood donation. The NBTS calls for more donors to step up to support their initiatives for blood donations.
These initiatives highlight National Lottery’s ongoing commitment to the community. The company remains committed to organising initiatives that benefit society, encourage sustainability, and promote the welfare of the community.
