The Hon. President of the Autonomous City of Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas Lara, expressed the city’s commitment to the work of the Foundation, highlighting its role as a strategic ally for community development. “Ceuta is proud to be the headquarters of this important initiative and to have a company like Flutter as an ally. The Flutter Foundation will be an engine of positive change for many people. We are committed to supporting its mission and collaborating closely in its work for the social, economic, educational and technological development of the city,” concluded the president.
During her intervention, Cristina Pérez Valero, Delegate of the Government of Spain in Ceuta, highlighted the relevance of community support in the implementation of social programs and pointed out that “the Flutter Foundation is presented as an opportunity to strengthen social cohesion and provide support to those they need it more. Their work will be very valuable to improve the quality of life in our community.”
