At GibSams, we often say that listening saves lives. But before we can listen, we need to notice. People rarely say outright that they are struggling. More often, they drop small hints or behave in ways that show something is not quite right. These signs can be easy to miss, especially in busy lives.

At GibSams, we believe that conversation matters. It has the power to connect and change lives. With our new befriending service, GibSilver, we are helping create meaningful relationships between generations. At the heart of it all is the simple act of having a chat.

Peter J Isola Foundation and Kusuma Trust join with HM Government of Gibraltar to fund the project. GibSams is proud to announce the launch of GibSilver, a new support service aimed at offering companionship, conversation, and a listening ear to those aged 55 and over in Gibraltar. The service officially launched on Thursday 3rd April 2025, alongside a campaign to recruit volunteers who wish to support older members of our community.
