The Faculty for Social Wellbeing at the University of Malta encourages Government to consider the widest plethora of initiatives possible to foster the wellbeing of Maltese society—particularly those who are most vulnerable and at risk of poverty and social malaise; going beyond the requisite monetary measures and ensuring continuous reform in the provision of social welfare services.  

Reiterating its commitment towards more research and an active role in the community, the Faculty for Social Wellbeing emphasises the need for a truly inclusive community, where social justice, rights and a collective sense of responsibility are the pillars that ensure the true growth of our country, not just in terms of material wealth but in terms of the wellbeing of every individual as a human being and a citizen. 

Dr Andrew Azzopardi, Dean of the Faculty, stated that a multi-pronged, transdisciplinary approach is required to ensure that the lacunae in this sector are addressed for the long-term benefit of Maltese society.
