🧡 Happy Volunteers’ Week! 🧡

​There is no better way to celebrate our incredible volunteers than by sharing the real impact they have on people's lives. This lovely feedback from one of our Infoline users says it all.

​When you reach out to us, it’s our dedicated volunteers who answer with the kindness, warmth, and guidance highlighted in this review. They don’t just offer information; they help people find community groups, rediscover their passions, and move to a much more positive place. 🧵✨

​To all our volunteers: thank you for making a massive difference every single day. We couldn't do this without you.

Chilled, refreshing, and quintessentially Spanish. 🥣 As the temperatures rise, the great summer debate begins: Team Gazpacho or Team Salmorejo?

​While Gazpacho is the famous drinkable salad, we have a soft spot for Salmorejo Cordobés. It’s thicker, creamier, and traditionally topped with hard-boiled egg and serrano ham.

​Our Cultural Tip: If you're making it at home, use the best Extra Virgin Olive Oil you can find—it’s the soul of the dish! Which one wins your heart (and stomach)? Tell us below! 👇

Sneaking out to join CND marches at 14
Travelling the overland hippie trail in a second-hand van
Dedicating years to church charity work supporting those in need

John has never stopped trying to make the world a better place. We are so incredibly lucky to have him on our team!

It’s Volunteers’ Week (1–7 June)! During this landmark International Year of Volunteers 2026, we are looking back at one of our favourite milestones showing what community spirit truly looks like.

Throwback to when our wonderful President, Marijke, set up a second-hand stall at Mollina Market in Málaga! Even though it absolutely poured with rain, the team kept smiling, played music, and proved that a borrowed clothes rail is all it takes to create real change. All proceeds went directly to supporting Age in Spain.
This adventure reminds us that there isn't just one way to volunteer. Whether you like chatting on the phone, helping behind the scenes, or organising local events, there is always a welcoming place for you in our family!

To our past, present, and future volunteers: thank you for being our backbone.

🌟 Happy Volunteers’ Week (1–7 June)! 🌟
Today, we are celebrating the incredible individuals who form the backbone of Age in Spain. In 2025 alone, our dedicated team of over 50 volunteers delivered 8,000 hours of vital support to older English-speaking residents right across Spain!

While our team covers the entire country, the majority of our support is delivered to those living in the Costas, as well as across the Balearic and Canary Islands. From helping people navigate complex residency paperwork and life admin to offering a friendly voice through our loneliness prevention lifelines, our volunteers ensure no one has to face the challenges of ageing abroad alone. 🏝️

Want to make a real difference in your local community?

We are always looking for passionate people to join our growing team. You don't need to speak perfect Spanish—just have a desire to help!
