A website service to help older Britons and other foreign residents reach local help last week took a major step to establishing itself as a national association in Spain. The legal documents for Support in Spain were signed in a notary office in Malaga, with British Consul for Andalucía, Charmaine Arbouin, project coordinator, Neil Hesketh, and other representatives attending.
Hesketh said: "We are very pleased to reach this stage because it helps build on the success so far for the longer term."
Support in Spain is an online directory that provides details of Spanish government organisations as well as many others in the voluntary sector run by local residents. It is designed to help users find support in health care, emergency advice, social care and from local charities and organisations. The web was the result of an initiative between the UK Embassy and the University of Birmingham.
When fully registered the independent website will be able to widen its fundraising.
