The Royal Gibraltar Police (RGP) recently presented a cheque in the amount of £1000 to Childline.

A statement from the RGP follows below:

This significant sum was raised by the RGP’s recent recruit class through  their participation in the annual RAOB charity cardboard boat race, where teams  "SpongeBobbies" and "Cops on the Dock" competed in support of this important  cause.  

The recruits originally raised £540, with the RGP's Charity Committee donating an  additional £460 to reach the final total. 

In recognition of this effort, Childline presented the RGP with a certificate of  appreciation. 

At the presentation Childline’s Annie Green said “We are extremely grateful to the  RGP and especially to the recruits for their great efforts.” 

Commissioner of Police Owain Richards also commented “I’m proud of the our new  recruits’ initiative in volunteering their own time in raising money for this worthy cause. This initiative is a testament to their commitment to serving not only the community  through their policing duties, but also through supporting vital local charities.”
