Age Concern Marbella - San Pedro
Age Concern – Marbella & San Pedro fundraiser gala 2026
Age Concern Marbella-San Pedro is organising its well loved annual charity gala for 2026 to raise essential funds for older English-speaking residents on the Costa del Sol.
Community backing remains strong for worthy initiatives
Previous events have drawn large crowds eager to enjoy good food, music and company while contributing to a cause that combats loneliness and provides practical help. Carol Woolnoth, president of the charity, often shares inspiring details about the valuable work carried out throughout the year. Activities include regular volunteer visits to care homes, multiple coffee mornings that encourage new friendships, and a welcoming social centre in San Pedro offering classes and support services. A dedicated helpline assists with everyday challenges, from home care needs to other forms of assistance.
Music and entertainment promise a memorable evening
Guests at the forthcoming 2026 edition can look forward to performances from Helena Paul, who brings a mix of jazz, soul, reggae, pop, blues and R&B to the night. An auction and raffle add extra excitement and opportunities to support fundraising efforts directly.
Funds target vital services for seniors
Money raised helps maintain and expand the social and activity centre while growing the hardship fund that offers targeted help to those facing most difficulties. Many local residents and expats view this gathering as one of the most enjoyable ways to give back to a group that deserves ongoing care and connection. Organisers say that places fill quickly for this well-attended occasion, so tickets should be snapped up quickly.
Tickets cost €89 per person and cover welcome drinks with canapés from 7.30pm at Guadalmina Golf Club on Saturday, May 2, followed by a three-course dinner with wine, beer and soft drinks included during the meal for an extended period, plus full entertainment. Diners select from the menu when booking.
Interested parties should email events@ageconcernmarbella.com soon with menu choices to reserve spots. Further information appears on ageconcernmarbella.com or by calling the helpline at 689 355 198.

Message from Age Concern Marbella-San Pedro with a familiar story from one of their members
Many older expats on the Costa del Sol wake up to silence each morning. Loneliness can creep in after loss.
She gazed from her window at lively scenes below: children laughing, neighbours chatting, dogs enjoying walks. Her comfortable apartment held every material comfort imaginable, yet profound emptiness filled the space. Ten years earlier, her husband had passed after a long illness that affected them both deeply. Friends and family had since moved away or died, leaving her isolated from human connection.
Neighbours occasionally delivered groceries and the Euro Weekly News without pausing for conversation. Radio and television occupied some hours, but nothing replaced the warmth of shared company.
