Gibraltar Citizen’s Advice Bureau Celebrate Volunteer’s Week
Volunteer’s Week 2026 is from the 1st – 5th June. The Gibraltar
Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) would like to take this time to reflect
and think about the hard work volunteers carry out locally and
thank them for their unwavering support.
CAB have volunteers who make a great contribution to outreach
services, as well as within other specialist services the Bureau has
set up for the community. CAB will be recognising volunteers on
Friday 5th June with Minister for Equality, Employment, Culture
and Tourism, the Hon. Christian Santos GMD MP presenting
certificates.
For many voluntary and community groups, volunteers are their
lifeblood. In many cases these groups would not be able to
function without the tireless support they receive from volunteers.
Volunteers make a real difference to people’s lives and put to good
use to their experience and expertise and can also develop new
talents and skills.
Gibraltar is gifted with many selfless individuals who give up their
time, effort and dedication and CAB would like to raise awareness
of their valuable work and thank them for their voluntary work for
the community through CAB and other entities. Their dedication
and support help charities and organisations to function.
Minister Santos said; “Gibraltar’s volunteers give so much of their
time to enable charities, associations and organisations to offer
services which they may not be able to without their assistance.
Volunteering is a selfless act, and most do so without expectation
of recognition or reward. CAB’s certificate presentation is a lovely
gesture which I am sure will be appreciated by the recipients. I
would like to encourage everyone in our community to think about
volunteering. It is invaluable for groups and very personally
rewarding.”
