GibSams

GibSams is a Gibraltar charity registered with the Gibraltar Charities Commission (Reg. No. 285) which operates a confidential freephone helpline (116123) and chat service open from 6 pm to midnight every day of the year. The purpose of GibSams’ helpline and chat service is to provide support to anyone who is experiencing general emotional distress to reduce the number of suicides in Gibraltar. GibSams seeks to alleviate unhappiness, loneliness, despair and depression by listening to anyone who feels they have nowhere else to turn. GibSams’ dedicated and trained volunteers who make up its Listening Service Team listen to callers to help them without judging them. GibSams’ volunteers are non-political and non-religious, and they do not try to impose their personal convictions on anyone, they just listen. The fact that someone has been in contact with GibSams via our helpline or chat service is strictly confidential. GibSams treats the contents of any calls or chats with absolute discretion and confidentiality. Some callers prefer to remain anonymous - and that's fine. The calls are not able to be traced and will not show up on any phone bill. GibSams also offers other services to Gibraltar in the form of its Awareness and Outreach Programme which seeks to raise awareness of GibSams’ helpline and the mental health-related concerns and issues which exist across all sectors of our community. Any donations made to GibSams are solely used to either help raise awareness of GibSams’ services or fund the improvement of GibSams’ services. GibSams is a trading name of Befrienders (Gibraltar) Limited, a Gibraltar company limited by shares with its registered address at 57/63 Line Wall Road, Gibraltar. The Directors and Trustees of GibSams are non-remunerated, as are all of GibSams’ volunteers and Team Members.
