Calypso Radio’s 35-Hour Live Marathon in Aid of Puttinu Care

📅 Saturday, 18th October at 9:00 AM – Sunday, 19th October at 8:00 PM
📍 Calypso Radio Studios, Luqa

Station Manager and presenter Gordon Pace will go live for 35 hours non-stop, all in aid of Puttinu Cares.

For over 20 years, Puttinu Cares has supported Maltese and Gozitan patients traveling to the UK for treatment. Today, they offer 20 free apartments in Sutton and are expanding with 29 more in Central London, just a 10-minute walk from Great Ormond Street Hospital.

This new building—named after the late Dr. Victor Calvagna—will provide a total of 49 free apartments for families in need. To complete this project, Puttinu must refurbish the building and has also applied to add another floor to accommodate even more families.

We aim to raise €22,500, enough to fully furnish one apartment.

Breakdown of costs:

• Kitchen: €10,000
• 2 Bedrooms: €5,000 each
• Bathroom: €2,500
