BRITISH CONSULATE SPRING GARDEN PARTY IN AID OF AGE CONCERN ESPA?A

On 27 May the British Consulate will hold a Spring Garden Party at the Castillo Sohail in Fuengirola. The evening event is in aid of Age Concern Espa?a, who hope to raise enough funds to provide training for 60 volunteers.

The party will take place between 6pm and 9pm and promises to be a fun event for all ages. As well as enjoying musical performances, attendees will have the chance to win impressive prizes in a raffle draw. British Ambassador to Spain, Giles Paxman, British Consul to Malaga, Steve Jones, and various local public figures will also be present.

The event is being held to celebrate the ongoing British Consulate/Age Concern Partnership Project and to raise essential funds for the charity. Volunteer caseworkers for Age Concern Espa?a offer assistance to over 15,000 British Nationals over the age of 50 living in Spain. The role of volunteers can range from advising on benefit entitlements to arranging activities for the socially isolated.

Sarah Rogers, casework manager, says:

?Volunteers need ongoing training to ensure they offer a really beneficial service to elderly people. Kind contributions from the public make this possible. At this event, we will be having fun at the same time as making a real difference.?

All proceeds from entrance and raffle ticket donations will directly benefit Age Concern Espa?a?s caseworker project across Spain.
