April 3 Age Concern Golden Connections Club inaugural meeting
Age Concern introduce the Golden Connections Club in collaboration with Rendezvous Restaurant, Camposol
Age Concern Costa Calida announce their Age Concern Golden Connections Club whose mission to “Combating Loneliness, Fostering Friendship”
Loneliness and isolation among seniors have become pressing issues in our communities, casting a shadow over the golden years of many individuals. In response to this societal challenge. Age Concern are thrilled to announce the launch of the Age Concern Golden Connections Club—a haven for those aged 55 and above to come together, forge new friendships, and revitalise their social lives.
With the pace of modern life and changing family structures, many seniors find themselves craving meaningful connections and opportunities for social engagement. The Age Concern Golden Connections Club aims to address this need by providing a welcoming space where members can meet monthly, share experiences, and form lasting bonds.
At the heart of the initiative lies the recognition that human connection is essential for well-being and happiness, regardless of age.
The beauty of the Age Concern Golden Connections Club lies in its inclusivity and accessibility. Whether you're a seasoned social butterfly or someone taking the first steps towards expanding your social circle, the club warmly welcomes you. No one should feel alone in their journey through life, and the Age Concern Golden Connections Club strive to create a supportive community where everyone feels valued and heard.
Loneliness knows no boundaries — it can affect individuals from all walks of life. By fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie, the Age Concern Golden Connections Club endeavors to combat loneliness one friendship at a time. Together, we can create a brighter, more connected future for our senior community.
Join the Age Concern Golden Connections Club in embracing the spirit of togetherness and friendship. Together, let's make every day golden.
The first monthly lunch will be on Wednesday 3rd April from 2 - 4 p.m. at the fabulous Rendezvous on Camposol A Sector with subsequent lunches being held at the same time on the first Wednesday of every month.
Tickets are just 7 Euros which includes a gorgeous lunch of either selected sandwiches, sausage roll or fish fingers (all served with Chips of course!) & includes a tea or coffee.

Age Concern supports the over 50's in a multitude of ways.
Age Concern is the Mazarrón based section of Age Concern Spain. It operates across the Costa Cálida but its main activities are in Mazarrón and the surrounding area. Age Concern is a registered charity and voluntary organization. It provides help and support to the over fifties, along with a social life.
The organisation not only provides practical help, but also advice, and has a range of leaflets dealing with different issues and advice about accessing benefits, both Spanish and UK based. Attendance allowance, winter fuel allowance are both key issues for many and Age Concern has even been able to help some people with repatriation. The Spanish based UK population is growing older and although the Spanish health system takes great care of health, support is increasingly needed.
Age Concern does need your support. If you have the time, why not join them as a volunteer? Or become a friend? Age Concern needs help with its table top sales, coffee mornings, social lunches, social programme, with home visits. Support is there for our volunteers through an induction programme.
Currently over 25 volunteers visit and help in people’s homes. This can include activities such as sitting with a client whilst their carer/spouse shops, or undertaking domestic chores.
Age Concern Costa Cálida is a human charity managed and serviced wholly by unpaid volunteers. All services to the community are free, but they are not an emergency service, nor can they do caring, nursing or domestic work. Age Concern do not receive any funding from Spain or the UK. The costs are covered from fundraising activities and the generous donations from local residents. The phones are manned, during the times advertised, by working volunteers who cannot answer whilst driving, in meetings or with clients, but they will always return your call when able to do so. They have a range of medical aids which can be hired to assist after care and rehabilitation after operations and hospital stays.
Social events
Twice a month Age Concern runs a social event to enable local residents to meet new people within the community. Join their Facebook group for more information.
On the last Wednesday of the month Age Concern runs a Menu Del Dia at a local restaurant, also at 1.30pm, sometimes with entertainment provided. These Menus rotate around local restaurants, with something to suit every taste including British, Spanish or Chinese.
Age Concern also runs other fundraising events, including a bric a brac stall, with clothes, on Camposol B one Friday a month, and any contributions are always welcome.
