The Gibraltar Youth Service, on behalf of the Ministry of Youth, is delighted to share the success of its recent Raffle and Bake Sale Fundraiser held by the Youth Symposium Group.

The funds raised will be used to buy music equipment for the residents of the Cheshire Home in Tangier, Morocco. The group visited the home in June this year and formed valuable connections with the residents. The Youth Service is committed to offering young people international charity travel opportunities that promote personal growth, cultural exchange, and community service.

The fundraiser provided young people with the opportunity to take responsibility, develop teamwork, and demonstrate community spirit while working together towards a shared goal that strengthens community ties.

The Youth Service would like to thank the local businesses who donated prizes for the raffle, as well as the families and supporters who contributed gift vouchers, cakes, and prizes.

The Minister for Youth, the Hon. Christian Santos GMD MP, said:

“This type of event is so valuable as it gives young people responsibility and a shared goal. The Youth Symposium is helping to give young people the confidence to have a voice and lead on projects they feel are important. Gibraltar is well known for its charitable support, and the Cheshire Homes is a deserving cause, so I am pleased the Youth Symposium group decided to work on this initiative.”
