Earlier this year the Minister for Family and Social Solidarity Michael Farrugia, together with Minister for Gozo Dr. Anton Refalo, launched a LEAP Centre in Xewkija, situated in Triq il-Hamrija, next to the Gozo College Xewkija Primary School.

Minister Farrugia said that this is another step in the execution of the electoral programme where the promise was to open a number of centres for families in Malta and Gozo.

Present for the opening were the Xewkija Mayor Mr. Paul Azzopardi and Exectuive Secretary Ms. Sue Ellen Bugeja. 

On Monday 27th April, Xewkija Local Council organized the annual outing dedicated to mothers on the occasion of Mothers' Day.

Xewkija Local Council, in collaboration with Banda Filarominka Prekursur, have reached an agreement with the Parliament Secretary for Rights of People with Disability and Active Ageing, to start a meeting centre for the Active Ageing in the Banda Filarmonika Prekursur Hall.

Parliament Secretary Dr. Justyne Caruana, announced that the centre in Xewkija, is one of three which will be operating in Gozo and will include a varied programme just like the ones already active in Malta, in which the Secretariat activated a life-long learning programme.  She sustained that this project is part of the Goverment's campaign to involve the elderly on a national scale, and this after the Secretariat called for collaboration from Local Councils to provide such service for the elder.

The Parliament Secretary also mentioned the Night Shelter project which is being held together with the Church. Dr. Justyne Caruana visited such sites to follow progress works on these projects.
