Age Concern, Estepona and Manilva Press Release – 28th March 2009

AREME Raises Funds for Age Concern

Age Concern are very grateful to AREME (Asociación de Residentes Extranjeros del Municipio de Estepona) for donating 184€ to the charity following their successful social evening, including bingo, held at The Boys Bar, Estepona. A great evening was had by all who attended and the money raised will be going to support the volunteers who work with older people in the community. The Chair Lady of AREME , Francine Pompas, with her Committee members, presented a cheque to Janet Allwood, Treasurer of Age Concern.

Age Concern Coach Trip to IKEA

The coach trip to IKEA in Malaga organised by Age Concern on the 25th March was a great success. The people on board shopped until they almost dropped picking up the bargains on offer. Many thanks go to John Thurston for making it all happen. As a result of the trip about 100 Euros were raised to help with the work of the charity.

Age Concern, Estepona and Manilva, Sponsored Walk

The credit crunch, recession, call it what you will, is hitting people hard on the Costa del Sol. Unfortunately many of the hardest hit are on UK pensions and have seen the value of those pensions diminish rapidly. Age Concern is finding that more requests are coming in for advice and help as elderly people struggle to make ends meet. For the charity to do that to the best of its ability funds are always needed to support the volunteers. This year Age Concern is holding a sponsored walk on Sunday 19th April along the Paseo Marítimo, Estepona on Sunday 19th April from near the start of the Paseo (towards the fishermen’s workshops) to El Correos and back (that is one lap). The walk starts at 11.00. Walkers of all abilities as well as sponsors are needed. Sponsors can sponsor per lap or just donate an amount. Prizes will be given to the Under 12 who collects the most money, and to the adult who collects the most money.

For a sponsor form call in at the shop in Calle Zaragoza, Estepona; to sponsor a walker call 951318234 and leave your details. Why not spend that Sunday morning helping to raise money for such a worthwhile cause? We look forward to hearing from you.

Estepona International Day 26th April

Estepona Council have organised the first International Day of 2009 for Sunday 26th April. Age Concern will be there running a stall selling teas, coffees, and produce of all kinds, as well as providing information about the charity to people and giving advice when asked. At a recent meeting with the Council this years event will feature a full programme of entertainment as well as 32 stalls in the Palacio de Congresos. To make the event a huge success we need your support – both in produce to sell, and in running the stall. We need cakes, biscuits, preserves, quiches (always a great favourite), pies, sausage rolls…., anything edible! If you can help in any way contact us now on 951318234 and leave your details or email tonyaldous55@yahoo.co.uk.

The telephone number is 650163928. It should be noted that Age Concern is not an emergency service. There is also an email address where you can contact Age Concern, Estepona and Manilva.
