Who We Are
Men in Need is a Gibraltar‐based charity registered as Charity Number 364. Our mission is to offer comprehensive and empathetic support to men experiencing a range of difficulties throughout Gibraltar. These include challenges related to unemployment, homelessness, addiction, mental health, domestic violence, and other critical areas of need. We aim to ensure that every man in Gibraltar has access to the resources and guidance necessary to rebuild his life.
Working directly with the Ministry of Justice and collaborating closely with other key government departments—including the Ministry for Housing and the Ministry for Employment—we create a network that connects men to essential services. Please note that we do not offer direct employment opportunities or access to housing; rather, our role is to facilitate access to a range of support services.
