Hassans Charitable Trust donates £5,000 to Calpe House.

Hassans was delighted to welcome Calpe House Chairman Albert Poggio, OBE GMH and Trustee Eddie Yome QPM CPM to its offices yesterday to present a cheque for £5,000 as an additional contribution on top of the firm’s annual sponsorship of £10,000. 

Hassans’ Managing Partner Javier Chincotta and Line Group’s CEO Mark Okes-Voysey invited the charity’s representatives to a lunch in appreciation of their, and their extended team’s, work in providing the vital home-from-home facilities for Gibraltarians who are receiving medical treatment in the UK. 

Albert Poggio commented:

"The firm has been corporate sponsors of Calpe House for nine years with next year marking a ten-year milestone. Hassans’ support has been instrumental in helping Calpe House maintain and strengthen its “Home from Home” environment for patients and families and we are grateful for their continued support." 

Calpe House has now supported over 14,000 patients, including escorts and repeat visits. The approaching ten-year milestone reflects a shared commitment to community wellbeing and the importance of sustained support for those undergoing medical treatment away from home.

Javier Chincotta said:

“We were very pleased to host representatives of all those who work so hard for Calpe House. We admire and applaud the work of everyone who continue to provide vital home-from-home facilities for Gibraltarians and their families receiving medical treatment in the UK.

The firm was also honoured to learn that Calpe House will be naming a second space at the London residence after the Hassans Charitable Trust.

Mark Okes Voysey added:

“This news was very warmly received. Their service offers comfort and companionship to families who are often facing extremely difficult times. It is a true honour to have a space named after the Hassans Charitable Trust.”

 The donation was the first in a series of donations that the Hassans' Charitable Trust is making this week.

Throughout 2025, Hassans, Line Group and the Hassans Charitable Trust have supported more than 30 entities, both locally and internationally, through direct financial contributions and by assisting individuals and organisations with their fundraising / community initiatives.
