Revitalise Bugibba and San Pawls Bay

Malta boasts a vibrant charitable sector, with over 2,100 registered NGOs and non-profits addressing various societal needs—from animal welfare to health and education . Prominent organizations include Caritas Malta, Inspire Foundation, and the Malta Community Chest Fund .

However, the Honey Badger Charity Youth Club, in collaboration with No Guilt Cafe, offers a distinctive and community-centric approach:

• Grassroots Engagement: Operating weekly currently from a private residence, the Honey Badger Charity Youth Club provides a safe haven for local youths.​ Committed to find a new home with your help.

• Community Hub Vision: Aiming to establish a dedicated community hub, the initiative seeks to revitalize abandoned spaces, fostering youth engagement and preserving cultural heritage.​

• Sustainable Social Enterprise: No Guilt Cafe, a 24-hour coffee shop, plans to fund the youth club through its profits, ensuring long-term sustainability .​No Guilt Cafe

Potential Sites for the Community Hub

1. Empire Cinema Complex, Bugibba: Once a cultural landmark, the Empire Cinema ceased operations during the 2020 pandemic. Plans are underway to replace it with a 167-room hotel, though the application is still under review .​TikTok+4Malta Daily+4Instagram+4

2. Mikado Cinema, St. Paul's Bay: Closed since around 1977, this former cinema has been repurposed as a garage. Its historical significance makes it a candidate for cultural rejuvenation .​Pinterest+2Pinterest+2Log in or sign up to view+2

3. Rudy Skatepark Area: Initially constructed without proper permits, Rudy's Skatepark has faced challenges regarding its legality and maintenance. Revamping this area could provide a legitimate and safe space for youth activities .​Lovin Malta+2Times of Malta+2Reddit+2

Addressing Youth Needs in Bugibba and St. Paul's Bay

Despite being among Malta's most populous regions, Bugibba and St. Paul's Bay offer limited recreational options for youths . Establishing a community hub would address this gap, offering educational programs, recreational activities, and a sense of belonging.
