A Celebration of People, Not Milestones

Claire Bellizzi, Director at Uniplural Group, is representing the locality of Ħal Għaxaq in this year’s Mrs Malta competition. Rather than focusing solely on the competition itself, Claire has used the platform to support Hospice Malta.

As part of the initiative, Claire has been visiting every Żugraga childcare centre across Malta, from Fgura, Għaxaq, Żebbuġ, St Julian’s, Żejtun and Msida to the newest centre in Mqabba, hanging paper butterflies on the trees outside each one.

The butterfly was chosen as a symbol of hope and care, in keeping with the work Hospice Malta does supporting patients and families through life-limiting illness.

For the children, parents and educators at each centre, the butterflies mark a quiet reminder of the cause behind Claire’s campaign, and an invitation to support Hospice Malta.

Claire’s initiative reflects a value central to Uniplural Group: that caring for others, whether a child at a Żugraga centre or a family facing serious illness, is a shared responsibility.

14 Years, One Family: Celebrating Uniplural Group at Our Summer Staff Party

Fourteen years after Uniplural Group began in 2012, colleagues from Uniplural Care, Żugraga, Uniplural Academy, Uniplural Services and Uniplural Hospitality came together to celebrate our 300+ strong team.

What Fourteen Years Have Built: Caring and Growing Together

Our summer staff party brought together colleagues from every corner of the Group. Carers and nurses, childcare educators, cleaning and support teams, hospitality staff, Academy tutors, and the office teams who keep it all moving. For one evening, the rotas, the shifts and the divisions fell away, and what remained was simply the Uniplural family.

There is something particular about this organisation that makes an anniversary difficult to celebrate in the usual way. Our work does not happen in one building. It happens in a client’s living room in Birkirkara at seven in the morning. It happens in a Żugraga childcare centre at pick-up time. It happens on a night shift in a care home, in a spotless office at dawn, in a lecture room at Uniplural Academy, and seated at a table in the heart of Żebbuġ’s piazza.

Anniversaries invite reflection, and there is a great deal to reflect on. What began in healthcare in 2012 has grown into something considerably broader: a Group that has consistently reshaped itself to meet the demands of the community it serves.

Five divisions, one standard of care. Uniplural Care, Uniplural Academy, Uniplural Services, Uniplural Hospitality, and Żugraga. Each one distinct in what it does. Each one held to the same promise.

A genuine one-stop-shop. Healthcare, childcare, commercial cleaning, hospitality and accredited educational programmes under a single roof. It is a rare breadth in the Maltese market, and one that allows us to meet a client’s needs wholly rather than partially.

300+ employees. Every one of them is the reason this Group exists in the form it does today.

Our tagline has never been only an aspiration — it is a description. Caring is what we do for the communities we serve. Growing together is what happens inside the organisation, through Uniplural Academy, through progression across divisions, and through colleagues who joined as carers and now lead teams.

Fourteen years in, the ambition is unchanged: to be a leading provider of community services for a wide range of clients with diverse needs. What has changed is the number of people carrying that ambition forward, and we got to celebrate every single one of them.

To our team: thank you. For the early starts, the late finishes, the difficult days handled with grace, and the standard you hold yourselves to when nobody is watching. Here’s to the next chapter.
