Wobbles Charity Gibraltar

Our Mission

As a children’s charity we aim to raise funds to help children with disabilities. Most importantly we want to do something money can’t buy, and that is, to put a smile on every child’s face we come into contact with.

To achieve this we would "WOBBLE" their world by changing it in some way be it by granting them a wish or by providing them with a special gift. So many children go through difficult circumstances due to illness or their disability or even due to an accident. Wobbling their world would certainly brighten their day as well as ours.
