A collective of people, stories and actions to alleviate poverty and hardship in and around Gibraltar.
The Open Hands Trust came together in late September 2012 to alleviate hardship in Gibraltar. The initial concept was to start a foodbank operation as a first step to provide relief to people in crisis.
Referral by a frontline professional.
Frontline professionals such as doctors, health visitors, social workers, Citizens Advice Bureau employees, welfare officers, police, probation officers, and clergy members, among others, identify and refer people in crisis to The Open Hands Trust.
After being processed at our new processing point at Unit 26 Wellington Front, these orders are then collected by the service user.
