The Chief Minister today welcomed Leader of the Basque Group EAG-PNV in the Spanish Parliament Aitor Esteban on his first visit to Gibraltar.

Trustee of the PJI Foundation, Peter Isola, and Genevieve Bossino, a member of the team at the firm ISOLAS responsible for the organisation and delivery, with others, of initiatives to raise funds for the Foundation, recently paid a visit to the new Gibraltar Alzheimer’s and Dementia Day Care Centre to see for themselves the progress of works to complete the facility. Due to open by the summer, the Gibraltar Alzheimer’s and Dementia Society (‘GADS’) has been committed to raising funds for the project and has so far raised over £100,000 with the help of the local business and wider community. Its work is, however, far from over in this respect.
