Childline’s annual Flag Day takes place today and, for the first time, the charity is appealing for online donations to fund their important work in Gibraltar. Donations can be made here.
If the charity manages to raise £4,000 this would fund their Telephone Helpline Service for six months, meaning they could reach around 300 people in Gibraltar. Their dedicated team of volunteers will also be out in force this Friday, at the usual collection points, so please give generously as their services are entirely funded by private donations.
