As February 20 approaches, something truly special is happening – the Costa del Sol is proving once again that it is a place of heart, generosity, and unity.

We are an international family, who has chosen to live along the beautiful coast of Spain, alongside our new neighbours. We are a multicultural community who enjoys sunshine, security and success. But we also refuse to turn a blind eye when someone in our family is in need.

There is suffering right now.

Homelessness on the Costa del Sol is no longer just something that happens to ‘someone else’. It is happening to hardworking families – people with jobs, wages, and dreams – who have suddenly found themselves without a roof over their heads. Two families who had legal employment but were on the street last week because their landlords switched to short-term rental. With no savings to cover the impossible upfront costs of securing a new home, they are now sleeping in shop doorways and washing in café bathrooms – struggling to hold onto their dignity.

Here’s why we come together.

On February 20, at La Scala Marbella, we will unite as a community to raise €11,700 for Asociación Adintre – a charity dedicated to protecting the most vulnerable. The money raised will be used to open showers every day at the shelter for a year. This will give those who have nowhere else to turn back to feeling human.

What Can You Do to Help?

For €99, you can be part of an unforgettable evening at La Scala Marbella. The legendary chef Jason will prepare an exquisite meal, and some the most talented performers on the coast will donate their time to make this night one to remember. €25 from every ticket goes di- rectly to funding the showers.

If you cannot attend, please donate – details for the charity are in the box below – concept SHOWERS

If you own a business please donate a raffle prize or an auction item.

If you care – and we know you do – act now.

This is a crisis, and we will do what the Costa del Sol does best – stand together. This is a crisis, and we will do what the Costa del Sol does best – stand together.
