Camposol local charities welcome British Vice Consul on her recent visit
The British Vice Consul, Sara Munsterhjelm, accompanied by Consular staff, visited local charities in Camposol, Mazarrón in Murcia this week. These charities provide vital support to the local community.The Consular team met with representatives from MABS Cancer Support Foundation in Mazarrón, who provide a respite and palliative care home in the Camposol urbanisation; Age Concern Costa Cálida, who have a Social centre also in the Camposol urbanisation which offers a wide range of social activities to combat isolation and loneliness; The Royal British Legion in Murcia, which provides support to veterans and their families; and FAST/CST Camposol, which provides a vital first response in medical emergencies until ambulances arrive.
All of the charities explained to the Consular team that they were struggling to keep their services going due to lack of volunteers. If you think you could spare a few hours a week please do reach out to one of these charities or any other local charity in your area – every little helps!
