Gibraltar: Fireside Chat with Tom Farley 29th June

The Gibraltar Government Department of Justice Trade and Industry has issued a press release inviting young people to attend an event.

To register: www.startupgrind.com/gibraltar

One of Minister Feetham’s key priorities has been creating opportunities for young people. Great speakers can change the way young people view their future. Tom Farley is one of those speakers.

During his tenure at the NYSE, Tom oversaw the world’s largest stock exchange. Since then, he has remained at the forefront of financial innovation and digital assets, earning recognition as one of the most influential figures in global financial services.

This is a rare opportunity for young people to hear directly from someone who has operated at the highest levels of international business and finance and who continues to help shape the future of global markets.

VIRTUAL CHAT HV and Virtual New Parents Group

SSAFA's Virtual New Parent Group Sessions are open to all military families living in remote areas as a way to connect with other parents in similar situations. Although there will be a health visitor present to answer any questions, the floor is open to talk about whatever you want - from sleep, feeding or just general parental frustrations with no judgment or anything.

Our online CHAT HV sessions are open to all military parents across all time zones. These informal sessions cover a different topic each month to help guide and support you through the different stages of your parenting journey. These are a great way for you to meet other families from around the world and make connections, especially when living in a host country that has different practices with regards to new mum groups etc.

If anyone wants anymore information or to register for an online session, please either speak to your Health Visitor or email us on UKStratCom-DMS-DPHC-NYG-SSAFA@mod.gov.uk
