TRIESTE – The solidarity of Trieste’s port workers has turned into concrete support for the local area. This morning, a delegation of dockworkers donated €7,600 to two associations involved in assisting children and their families.
The ceremony took place in the Sala Colonne of the Port System Authority of the Eastern Adriatic Sea, where the contributions raised during the Port Festival organised on 6 June to mark the tenth anniversary of the Trieste Port Labour Agency were handed over.
The amount will be divided equally between Associazione Scricciolo and Io Tifo Sveva, organisations active in supporting children and their parents.
The initiative involved male and female workers from all the port companies, together with their families, who contributed to the fundraising campaign for charitable purposes during the celebrations.
Representatives of the Port Labour Agency stressed that the gesture, while modest in size, represents an important sign of participation and solidarity from Trieste’s port community.
