Gibraltar Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) successfully hosted a Technology Fun Day for senior citizens on Friday 24 April 2026, continuing a long-standing initiative that has been running since 2007.
With the rapid shift towards digital communication and online services, CAB recognises that many senior citizens face increasing challenges in accessing essential information and services. In response, the organisation remains committed to its belief that “knowledge is power” by creating welcoming, engaging and supportive environments where older members of the community can build confidence in using technology.
The event provided hands-on guidance in a friendly and relaxed setting, enabling participants to develop practical digital skills. A highlight of the day was the involvement of younger volunteers currently studying for their A-levels, who supported attendees throughout the sessions demonstrating the value of intergenerational learning and community collaboration.
CAB extended its sincere thanks to Stewart Harrison and his team for hosting the event at the Digital Hub, describing the venue as exceptional. Appreciation was also given to all volunteers whose enthusiasm and willingness to share their knowledge continue to inspire others to learn and grow, regardless of age.
CAB also expressed gratitude to Minister for Justice, Trade and Industry, the Hon Minister Nigel Feetham KC MP and to His Worship the Mayor Nicky Guerrero for attending and supporting the initiative. Special recognition was given to the Minister for Equality, Employment, Culture and Tourism, the Hon Christian Santos GMD MP for his continued support and encouragement of initiatives that promote accessibility and inclusion.
Minister Santos said: “I would like to thank CAB for offering these ongoing Technology Fun Days to ensure information and services are available to everyone without discrimination and regardless of age or background. CAB’s mission aligns closely with ours at the Ministry of Equality where we continue to work on building an inclusive community where no one is left behind”.
