Volunteers Wanted

Wed, Jul 6 2011

Volunteers are needed, especially if transportation and knowledge of Spanish can be offered. Some volunteers have had careers in nursing, education, psychology and other caring professions and are accustomed to listening in a sympathetic and kind manner. If you would be interested in participating, please call our Help Line: 691761088 or 655903182.

Age Care Association is a fully registered, non-profit organization staffed entirely by volunteers. The majority of work is helping older British people living in the Province of Malaga, but also includes other nationalities that speak English. Welfare information, practical support and two help lines are provided. Volunteers visit people at home, help facilitate hospital visits and assist with contacts to other local service providers such as Spanish Social Services, care homes and legal services. We work closely with the British Consulate, Royal British Legion, and branches of the International Lions.
