The Minister for Housing, the Hon Pat Orfila, said: ‘We’ve all got brothers, or uncles, or grandparents, fathers or friends who have probably gone through the process of separation and finding themselves with nowhere to go. These are the people we need to help.

‘The Government is proud to have donated the building, valued at over £2 million, to this cause. But we need the public’s support to convert it into a sanctuary and a place of stability for men who find themselves at these turbulent crossroads in their lives.

‘Please, give what you can, and help us to create a facility for the men of Gibraltar that everyone in Gibraltar can be proud of.’
