Age Care Association Holds Christmas Party Celebration In Gratitude Of The Charity
Shop Volunteers
It was a case of “Play it Again, Sam” when, for the 3rd year running, the Age Care Association held its Christmas Party at the Casablanca Restaurant in Calahonda for their Charity Shop volunteers and friends.

Age Care Association President, John Greaves, thanked Beverley Morland, Shop Manager, and all the Shop Volunteers for their dedication and hard work during 2011 and for making it the most successful charity shop on the coast.

The money raised supports Age Care all year and helped to sponsor a Christmas party for the
elderly held recently at the Tamisa Hotel in Mijas Costa.

Thanks to the hospitality of the Casablanca staff, Mark and Kim, the festivities began with an excellent traditional Christmas menu.

Entertainment was provided by Mark Anders and Gary Toone, who later had everyone dancing the night away to a selection of music from the 60’s.

A surprise visit by Santa and one of his elf helpers handed out secret Santa presents to all the volunteers. A Christmas Raffle raised the sum of 220 euro’s for the Association.

If you haven’t already found the Age care Charity shop in El Zoco Commercial Calahonda make it one of your new year resolutions to visit soon, you will not be disappointed with the selection on offer and you will be made very welcome by Beverley and all the Volunteers.

About Age Care Association

Age Care Association is a fully registered, non-profit making organisation staffed entirely by volunteers. Our Spanish registration number is 6282 – CIF – G92487602 (Registro de Asociaciones de Andalucia). The majority of our work is helping older British people living in the Province of Malaga, but we do not exclude other nationalities that speak English. We provide welfare information, practical support and two help lines (Telephones: 691761088, and 655903182). The Association also has a hospital and home visiting team. Other volunteers visit people in Care Homes when necessary. As part of our work we have repatriated some individuals to the UK, where there are more caring facilities and access to benefits unavailable in Spain. Some of our volunteers have had careers in nursing, education, psychology and other caring professions and are accustomed to listening in a sympathetic and kind manner. We work closely with the British Consulate, Royal British Legion, and branches of the International Lions.
