End of Summer Sale at Age Care Charity Shop

By: Age Care Association

The Age Care Charity Shop is holding its ‘End of Summer’ sale now. The shop, which was opened by Steve Jones, the British Consul, in May this year, has proved a great success with people coming from all parts of the coast to visit and purchase some of the many interesting items to be found here. Beverley Morland, the Manageress and her team of volunteers, will be slashing prices so make sure you put this date in your diary and plan a visit to the shop to snap up a bargain. Also look out for the ‘above average’ selection, these all have a white label which means that the clothes are ’a little bit special’.

The team work very hard to maintain a high standard and there is a new attractive window display every week. The volunteers are looking forward to welcoming you and also your donations. Clothes for the new season are welcome, but please consider the condition of the clothes you are donating, good quality clean clothes are required, and a good rule of thumb is to donate only what you would be prepared to buy. A variety of special events are held on a regular basis i.e. bedding sale, notices of these are placed on the shop window or you can ring the shop on 675874308 for further information.

The Shop can be found in the Centro Comercial Las Jarales, Calahonda (just past Mercadona), and is open Monday to Friday from 10 – 4 and Saturday from 10 – 2. Funds raised in the shop are used to further the work of Age Care Association on the Costa del Sol. If you are interested in helping Age Care Association please contact the helpline number.

One way of helping is to come along to a great evening at the “Change a Life” Ball which is being held at the Hotel Tamisa Golf, Mijas Golf on Saturday 5th September. All monies raised are for the charity Age Care Association, to reserve your ticket please contact Costa Life Magazine on 952 492250.

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.
