Bridge the Gap
We believe everyone deserves to age with independence. While government grants provide a start, your generosity is what truly bridges the gap. Donate today to provide the personal support and social connection our community relies on. [1]

Volunteer Spotlight
I make a Friendline call every week to a lovely lady in Tenerife – we’ve never met, but I know all about her life and family, and she knows the same about me! We chat about all sorts, from Airfryer recipes to TV dramas. She is housebound, so I feel that our regular calls break up the monotony of the four walls. She’s always got a tale to tell me, and I enjoy making her laugh with some yarns of my own. It’s quite special to make a friendship across the miles, without ever having met.
On the Costa Blanca where I live, there are many English speakers and the concentration of non-Spanish residents and holiday home owners provides its own support network through clubs, groups and charity events. However, we hear of people who moved to small inland villages many years ago, where this network does not exist, so they need to call on services such as ours when they need help or guidance.
The first question I’m usually asked about Age in Spain is ‘Where is your shop ?’. We don’t have a physical presence and whilst the other local charities do an amazing job of raising money and supporting people in need, we fill in the gaps through the Infoline and our support services, particularly for those people living away from a large community.
I do worry about the ageing English-speaking population here, particularly those who may have lost a partner who they previously relied on, or those settled in remote areas without local help. I’m proud to be part of an organisation that can provide support and guidance across the whole of Spain and the Islands.
