WE HAVE A PROBLEM!
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Age Concern Costa Blanca Sur exists to provide services and support to people over 50 in our local community.
After more than 25 years serving the elderly residents of the Southern Costa Blanca. Age Concern regrets to announce that as from the 2nd November we will not be opening our Day Centre on Monday’s although it will remain operative Tuesday to Friday each week as normal.
The sole reason for this is the lack of Volunteers. We hope that this will only be for a short period until we can recruit more volunteers to help us.
Our Day Centre is the core of our operation providing a place for our beneficiaries who may not be able to get out to meet other people and have a chat and a drink. It is a vital resource to combat loneliness and provide social interaction.
In addition to the Day Centre we provide many other services including:
· Loan of Mobility/Care Aids
· Assisting in obtaining Personal Alarms (through an external company)
· Keep in Touch scheme – where a volunteer will ring each morning to check the welfare of a beneficiary.
· Befriending service – help with shopping etc
· Spanish Lessons – for Friends of Age Concern
· Lending Library – Every Tuesday morning 10.30 am to 12.30pm.
· Bereavement Group – Meets Tuesdays from 2pm to 4pm
We are therefore looking for new volunteers so that we can open once again for 5 days a week as normal.
If you therefore feel you can give a morning a week (It doesn’t have to be a Monday) then please call us on (+34) 96 678 6887, click on the GET NVOLVED TAB - VOLUNTEER AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE, GO ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE OR email us on costablanca@ ageconcern.org.es
