🎃 What a night! 🎃

This week, we hosted our very first Halloween staff party🕯️✨

The turnout and engagement were fantastic, with some of our bold team members daring to parade their creative costumes down an (electric) candle-lit 🕯️catwalk while three wickedly fair judges cast their votes! The winner of the night? None other than the Grim Reaper himself. 🖤

It was also about sharing plenty of laughs, enjoying delicious pizza and having great chats. We even hit the floor for some spooky dance moves. 🕸️💃🧛‍♂️

A huge thank you to everyone who joined in and made the evening such a fun and memorable one. Here’s to more team spirit, creativity, and laughter at CRPD Malta! 🖤🧙‍♀️
