Together with the Peter J Isola Foundation we have pledged £80,000 over two-years to support the launch of GibSilver, a new initiative by Gibsams to combat loneliness among the over 55s in Gibraltar. This service officially launched on Thursday 3rd April 2025, alongside a campaign to recruit volunteers.
Research by Gibsams highlighted the prevalence of loneliness among older people in our community, and its significant impact on their mental and emotional well-being, highlighting an urgent need to address this issue. We are deeply committed to investing in the wellbeing of the Gibraltarian community and their families recognising the long-term value of supporting the GibSilver service.
Our Trustee, Peter Isola, commented: “We are always looking for ways to support and contribute towards initiatives that will benefit the people of Gibraltar and are very pleased to support any efforts to create a more connected community. An initiative that will no doubt be well received by all.”
