Gibraltar Today

On Location from the Convent Christmas Fair


Listen Later

A special edition of Gibraltar Today was broadcast from the Convent Christmas Fair. There were more than 30 stalls, many of them charities, selling lots of Christmas goodies. It's a great event to get you in the Christmas spirit!


This year the Fair is raising funds for three main beneficiaries: 


  • Fr Charlie's Soup Kitchen, who do excellent work next to St Theresa's Church, helping lots of people, and more because of the cost of living crisis of recent years.
  • St Vincent de Paul Society, which is part of an international Christian voluntary network dedicated to tackling poverty by helping people in need. 
  • And, the Society for the Visually Impaired - a charity helping anybody living with sight loss or sight difficulties.


We caught up with one of the organisers Eleri Surrey, the Governor Sir David Steel, as well as some of the charities that took part. These included Executive Chairman Albert Poggio and Deborah Huxley from Calpe House, Nadine Delgado and Gina Pitto from the Blood Cancer Gibraltar Branch, Round Table International Regional Chairman Nicholas Gomez, and Bianca Yeo from Cancer Relief.
