FUNDING VARIOUS ASSOCIATIONS
Local associations had the opportunity to apply for funding with activities benefiting children, young people and senior citizens, including education/training and sports and recreation projects for people of all ages, environmental and marine protection content, traditional tourism offer preservation projects, cultural and artistic projects and agricultural development projects (for Mediterranean cultures).
Evaluation of the project proposals submitted was followed by the selection of projects meeting the competition criteria. Punat locals were given the chance to vote for the projects they found the most important via an anonymous survey.
The Marina Punat Group which comprises the Marina Punat and the Punat Shipyard thereby provided substantial donations to the best five island projects. Locals gave the most votes to the “Daddyhood Croatia” fathers’ association’s Dadathlon Festival 2023, the Sopile Players Association of the Island of Krk’s “Sopile Days” festival, the “Orebica” Krk hunting association’s “Hawk” hunting unit with their Punat hunting area development program, the “Hope – Rijeka” (“Nada – Rijeka”) Women’s Breast Surgery Patient Association’s breast cancer prevention and early detection project, and the Matica Hrvatska Krk Branch project for the publication of the “Štorije zi škafetina” (“Tales from the Drawer”) book.
Last year’s donations were awarded to four associations, two of which were related to sports projects – the Krk Island majorettes and the Krk Karate Club. The “Srcem za Punat” (“Heart for Punat”) Association received aid for their robotics and 3D modelling project for children from 7 to 15 years of age, while the Punat Elementary School received funding for a literary corner and a comic book section.
The Marina Punat and the Punat Shipyard plan to allocate funds to various associations and sports clubs in the years to come as well, especially those that include children, young people, and our county locals.
MEDICAL EQUIPMENT DONATIONS
The Group has been supporting local medical facilities via equipment donations as well. We have donated a mobile ultrasound device to the Krk Emergency Medical Services which will be used for the rapid diagnostics of a series of conditions when providing emergency care in the field. The Punat Infirmary has received a valuable aspirator – a device used to treat acute respiratory distress donated by the very same Marina Punat. Oxygen therapy devices have been procured as well, with six oxygen concentrators donated to the Krk Island Health Centre.
