They are the back bone of the Charity and enable them to fulfill their 4 core values to the people they serve
These are.....
1. The provision of Advice

3. Help - in a personalised, practical form
4. Friendship
Normally these values are achieved through their 4 social drop-in clubs and Charity shop in Los Boliches
As we all know, at the the present time all venues are temporarily closed due to the restrictions on movement
The Charity however are still working hard on behalf of their Clients
If you are in need your first port of call is their Helpline which is open 24 hours a day
Linda Ewen, Head of Welfare manages the Helpline on 652537615
The Charity are still able to take people for their medical appointments but this is currently a limited service
Similarly they continue to make regular calls to many clients to ensure they are safe and well

PRESS AND PUBLICITY FOR THE CHARITY AGE CONCERN FUENGIROLA y MIJAS
AGE CONCERN MIJAS AND FUENGIROLA IS FOR EVERYONE
Age Concern Mijas and Fuengirola - We are lucky to live here in Spain
A country that is making great strides in ensuring our presence continues to be welcomed
Enabling us to sit back, relax and enjoy an enviable lifestyle
But scratch beneath this veneer and all is not quite what it seems.
In fact what we´re talking about can affect anyone at literally any age.
More potent and lethal than smoking 15 cigarettes a day
It can upset your physical and mental well being and has many names
We know it as "Loneliness and Isolation"
Sadly, it affects a large number of expats in our region of Fuengirola and Mijas
Perhaps this includes friends of yours and if it does what can you do?
Age Concern was established to provide advice, support, help and most importantly friendship.
Our clients are drawn from the over 50´s English speaking expat community, regardless of nationality
Here in Fuengirola and Mijas we currently operate 3 weekly drop-in social clubs.

.
