December is a season of giving and connection, and a time when many companies naturally look for meaningful ways to give back. But it’s also one of the hardest times of year for people struggling with anxiety, loneliness, financial pressure, grief, or other mental-health challenges.

Data from national helplines, including Richmond Foundation, indicates a spike in mental-health-related calls per day during the December period, showing just how many people are silently struggling.

That’s why this season is the ideal moment for your business to support a cause that truly changes lives and to set the tone for your 2026 CSR and ESG goals. Healthy Minds Care, the fundraising and CSR arm of Richmond Foundation, gives organisations a simple, impactful, and transparent way to contribute directly to improved mental health in Malta. Here’s how.

Healthy Minds Care is Richmond Foundation’s dedicated fundraising and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative. Its purpose is to make mental health support accessible to anyone in Malta who needs it, no matter their financial situation.

Through Healthy Minds Care, businesses can help to fund essential services such as residential care, therapy sessions, crisis intervention, community outreach, and emotional wellbeing programmes.

By partnering with Richmond Foundation, companies take a proactive role in strengthening Malta’s mental health landscape. And because Richmond operates with complete transparency, organisations know exactly where their contributions go and how they are making a difference.

Today, companies are expected to contribute to society in ways that go beyond financial success. Supporting mental health through Healthy Minds Care is a powerful, authentic way to demonstrate social responsibility.

Richmond Foundation offers a variety of CSR partnership opportunities that can be tailored to each organisation’s size, goals, and culture. These partnerships not only help people in need, but they also foster stronger employer branding, employee engagement, and trust among customers and stakeholders.

Through Healthy Minds Care, your businesses can choose from:

• Corporate sponsorships
• Payroll giving schemes
• Employee fundraising events
• Direct donations toward therapy or outreach
• Longer-term CSR collaborations

These flexible partnership models are designed to make it easy for businesses of all sizes to support your community and your company’s ESG strategic goals.

This festive season, we invite you to bring hope and healing into the lives of mothers and children who face extraordinary challenges. At the heart of our “Transform a Life” campaign, we honour the strength of women who are striving to rebuild their lives — while carrying the weight of mental-health struggle and the responsibility of caring for a child. Through your generous gift, you enable these mothers to remain at their safe home at Dar Tereża, surrounded by expert support, therapy and a nurturing environment. When a mother is empowered, her child’s world changes — the laughter returns, the moments of calm replace the fears, the future begins to feel possible again. This is far more than a donation: it’s a lifeline, a reassurance that she is seen, supported and worthy of a fresh start. It’s a light in the darkness, guiding one mother, one child, one family toward dignity, recovery and resilience. So whether you give €10, €25 or €50 — or even share this message with someone else who cares — you are helping to ignite real change this Christmas. Because when we support a mother, we uplift a child; when we uplift a child, we lift a family; and when we lift a family, we strengthen our community. Join us, stand with us, and together we can transform lives.

Your organisation has the chance to make a real difference through meaningful action in 2026 and beyond.

Supporting Healthy Minds Care is one of the simplest and most impactful ways to give back. Whether you support an event, or form a CSR partnership, your contribution will help someone access life-changing support.
