🚨 Celebrating 5 Years of Service 🚨

This month marks the 5th anniversary of the Search and Rescue Unit of the Order of Malta.

Over the last five years, our volunteers have dedicated their time, skills, and energy to serving the community, responding when needed and supporting a wide range of operations and activities. Their commitment remains the driving force behind everything we do.💪

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Maltese Association - Order of Malta, as well as to the various government entities, emergency services, NGOs, partners, and supporters whose collaboration and trust have helped us reach this milestone.🙏🏽

This anniversary is not only a celebration of our achievements, but also of the people and organisations who have made them possible.
Thank you for your continued support. 🫶

We look forward to serving our community for many years to come.🙌

Donny will be joining the radio to share the story behind our team, the impact we're making in the community, and an exciting project we're working hard to bring to life - our very own Rapid Response Vehicle. 🚑💨

This vehicle will help us respond quicker, support more people, and expand the vital services we provide. But we can't do it alone.

💙 We're currently raising funds to make this project a reality, and every contribution gets us closer to the finish line. Whether it's a small donation or a larger contribution, your support truly makes a difference.
If you'd like to be part of this journey and help us put this life-saving vehicle on the road, please support our fundraiser below:

Yesterday we had a fantastic training session on awareness and preparedness for missing persons cases involving individuals living with dementia. 🧠

Led by Daniel, we covered how to assess and approach patients, communication strategies, key risks, and what to expect in these sensitive situations. The kind of training that truly makes a difference when it matters most. 💙

A big thank you to Daniel for making such a complex topic so accessible and actionable.

Last weekend, we had the honour of attending the Lourdes pilgrimage as first responders. Although the job itself was not physically demanding on us, we can sincerely say it was emotionally intense and deeply moving.

Seeing everyone participate in shifts, or helping in any way they could to support Our Lords the Sick and give them a memorable weekend, was truly inspiring.

A big thank you to the organizers, the Order of Malta, H. E. Michael Grech, Baroncino Michael Trapani Galea Feriol, Honorary Member Edward Briffa, Harald Østfelt Heeringa, Simon Briffa, Andreea Chiriță, Father Jean Gove', Honorary Member Bryan Wubbels and everyone who took part in this miraculous movement.

This weekend reminded us to always be kind, respectful, and to keep an open heart.

On Tuesday morning our Unit Leader Simon Briffa, together with our Deputy Search Manager Daniel Casingena, and our Chairperson of the Fundraising Committee Alfonso Reisang Tolomeo, had the pleasure to meet the Director General of the Civil Protection Malta Department, Mr Peter Paul Coleiro.

Some very positive talks were carried out, strengthening the relationship between the two organisations and we will have the opportunity to collaborate more in future.

This is where it starts.

That win is helping us move forward, but we’re building something bigger.

Our goal remains clear:
a fully equipped Rapid Response Vehicle for our team. 🚨

This is why we stepped onto that stage.
