Gibraltar twins with 4 cities

Last year the application of the rules and criteria as to who could become Community Officers were suddenly changed by the Trustees of Community Care as from 17 February 2020 thus locking out new male applicants who might have been previously eligible at age 60. 


The GSD says it issued calls last year for a full explanation by the Trustees and also for a moratorium so that funding options could be discussed with the Government. As we said then potential retirees had a legitimate expectation to rely on the scheme when making retirement decisions. The Trustees of the charity should introduce an immediate moratorium on their decision and phase in required changes over a period of years that then allows everyone to plan properly. This means restoring payments to people suddenly excluded without notice in February 2020.
