Cancer Relief will be holding its flag day on Friday 15th October 2021. 

A statement from Cancer Relief Gibraltar follows below: 

Our amazing volunteers will be out and about in town so anyone wishing to donate may  do so at one of our Flag Day tables. 

When the Covid 19 pandemic hit Gibraltar in early 2020, people with cancer were one of the  vulnerable groups that had to shield in order to protect themselves from acquiring the  infection. Cancer Relief’s role to support those affected by cancer became even more  important at a time when their fears were heightened by Covid 19. Most of our services were  adapted so that we could continue to support our service-users virtually and where face to  face support was necessary by adhering to public health rules with the use of PPE. 

Commenting on the launch of the Flag Day, the charity’s Chairperson said: “We are so pleased  to be able to hold a flag day once again after we held our last one two years ago. We know  that the support we give to those who have cancer and to their families can be of great benefit  to those affected by this illness. Cancer Relief wants to continue to provide this much needed  care and support to people in Gibraltar and we can only do this through your donations so  please be generous this Friday.” 

Anyone who wishes to donate but will not be in town on Friday may still do so online by  visiting our website www.cancerrelief.gi clicking our ‘Make a Donation’ page to find the  charity’s bank details.
