Preparing the hampers

IN a joint venture between the Gibraltar Youth Service, police and Care Agency, 60 food hampers were distributed to the vulnerable and elderly around Gibraltar.

The event was the culmination of weeks of planning at Laguna Youth Club by the agencies and young people to ensure the day was a success.

Whilst the theme of the day was to circulate the food hampers the youngsters also provided tours of the newly refurbished Laguna Youth Club and showed off their art work on the walls as well as their new IT suite.

On the sports pitch a number of activities were on offer for everyone to enjoy including face painting, bouncy castle, skittles, BBQ, cake stall and music.

The highlight of the day was visiting the vulnerable and elderly in their homes with food parcels provided by a variety of individuals and organisations including schools, wholesalers and local businesses.
