Plater and Laguna Youth Club Residential at La Finca The Charity Committee of the Royal (RGP) have been working diligently alongside the Gibraltar Youth Service over the past few years and, as a result have once again funded a weekend residential for 18 young people from Plater and Laguna Youth Club. This fun packed weekend took place at La Finca in Alcaidesa and saw Plater and Laguna staff team up with the and monitors of La Finca in delivering outdoor adventure based activities and therefore, further strengthening the relationship between the Youth Service, RGP and the youngsters involved. The participants involved experienced new opportunities and were able to build and develop their personal and social skills by actively participating in a number of activities including canoeing, rock climbing, archery, horse riding, hiking and a number of team building activities. This experience enabled young people to initiate, build and maintain relationships, face new challenges and further develop the productive working relationship with the RGP. The Gibraltar Youth Service would like to thank the RGP Charity Committee for funding this trip and Argus for Sponsoring the Insurance and Blands for providing the transport.
