Sep 30 - Charity Cheque Presenation After Fair And National Day Events
This year’s Fair and National Day events have raised sufficient funds to allow cheques to the value of £9000 to be presented to local charities.
The Minister for Culture, Steven Linares, today presented cheques to various charities and said:
‘Her Majesty’s Government is indebted to those charities, as indeed we are to those non- charitable organisations and volunteer groups, because it is thanks to their efforts and their support that Gibraltar is able to enjoy a varied programme of entertainment during our annual festivities.
‘The staff at the Gibraltar Cultural Services worked very hard to co-ordinate the many events that took place, but the charities, organisations and individuals who contributed to the outstanding success of this year’s Gibraltar Fair, National Week, National Day and its ancillary events need to be thanked and acknowledged. The Government is also very grateful to the SDGG for their sterling work year after year.’
Cheques were presented to: -
Catholic Education Service, City Line Church, Gibraltar Girl Guides, Lions Club of Gibraltar, Methodist Church, Psychological Support Group, St John Ambulance, and the Women’s Health Group.
