Clubhouse Gibraltar to provide new services

Clubhouse Gibraltar will be providing three new services once lockdown restrictions are lifted including drop-in sessions and a wellbeing café.

The charity said the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown had brought many changes and disruptions to how people live their lives, in particular to those with underlying psychological or mental health issues.

“This has created a greater need and demand for support from the general public and Clubhouse Gibraltar has been responding to many enquiries as well as reaching out and maintaining communication with their members,” the charity said.

“We are therefore pleased to announce that once the lock down restrictions are lifted and as soon as it is possible, Clubhouse Gibraltar will be launching three new services which will be open to the general public at specific times in order to provide a space for people to be able to talk about their needs or feelings and feel supported in a confidential space.”

“We hope that anyone who has felt challenged because of this pandemic and feels they need some support will avail themselves of these services.”
