Never feel alone. Discover a programme of support and social clubs for older residents with Age Concern

Reconnecting with your local community is an important and special thing to do. Age concern have just made it easier for the older community living along the Costa del Sol to socialise in Fuengirola, Mijas & Benalmadena with their new updated weekly schedule packed with gatherings, gentle fitness classes, and confidential guidance.

Weekly activities at the Fuengirola centre

On Mondays and Tuesdays, coffee mornings and book exchanges run from 11am to 1pm at the main facility located on Calle Iglesia 44, Los Boliches. Visitors can drop in for hot drinks, browse shared novels, and enjoy friendly conversation.

Wednesdays focus on gentle movement to help attendees maintain mobility. Seated exercises run from 2pm to 3pm, followed immediately by Pilates. Qualified instruction keeps movement safe to avoid injury. High demand means waiting lists are currently open for both options. Anyone keen to attend must book in advance by contacting Ruth on +44 7966 948642.

Thursday afternoons will soon host fun bingo and games sessions between 2pm and 4pm, with official start dates to be confirmed. Fridays offer dedicated welfare advice appointments from 10am until 2pm, ensuring direct guidance is easily accessible for personal or administrative matters.
