Pre summer fun get-together at La Sala Banus with Age Concern

On June 11, Age Concern Marbella – San Pedro enjoyed another fabulous lunch at La Sala restaurant in Puerto Banus. Guests enjoyed a refreshing glass of wine or cava on arrival before sitting down to a sumptuous lunch.

The stylish venue provided the perfect backdrop for an afternoon of community spirit, with a gourmet menu featuring options like Homemade Soup of the Day or Tomato & Avocado Tartare starters, followed by mains such as Chicken Cordon Bleu, Grilled Sea Bass, or a vibrant Gan Green Curry.

As always, there was great conversation and lots of laughter, which have become the hallmark of these regular Age Concern get-togethers. The event brought together English-speaking residents over 50 from across Marbella, San Pedro, and surrounding areas, fostering new connections and reinforcing existing friendships in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

The meal was followed by a raffle which raised over €100 – a wonderful donation gratefully received. Age Concern Marbella – San Pedro receives no financial support from national, regional, or local government, relying entirely on the generosity of the community, fundraisers like this lunch, and the dedication of volunteers to continue their vital work.

The charity provides friendship, support, and practical assistance to older expats who might otherwise face loneliness or isolation. Services include help navigating Spanish paperwork, information on local services, home visits, welfare advice, and a range of social activities. Their welcoming Social and Activity Centre in San Pedro offers classes and events tailored to varied interests and abilities, helping members stay active, connected, and independent.

Although some activities will close for the summer to enable volunteers to have a well-deserved holiday, the organisation’s six popular drop-in coffee mornings will remain open as usual across locations including Marbella, San Pedro, Benavista, and Elviria. These relaxed gatherings guarantee a friendly welcome, flowing conversation, and opportunities to forge lasting bonds – ideal for anyone seeking company during the quieter summer months.
