We are a small band of friendly volunteers in Calpe. Our main duties are to take people to hospital appointments of which we can claim our expenses from the client. We are in need of interpreters as we currently only have one Spanish speaking volunteer. We provide practical assistance by loaning medical equipment for a small deposit & hopefully we can give practical advice with peoples problems. We cannot give financial advice or provide nursing care, but will perhaps know someone who can help. I have compiled a list of helpful contacts but whilst I believe it to be accurate, it does not constitute a recommendation from HELP of any one person or organisation. Please inform me if you find any of the contacts or information wrong.

Recent Information - October / November 2008

Sue is now back as co-ordinator of Calpe.

We have a volunteers meeting on 7th November in the Cross Keys bar at 11.30 & we shall be staying for lunch if desired.

We have a new mayor & officers have changed positions so the application for the storage lock-up in the old town has been put on hold!

Are you fed up with all these 0845 etc numbers which all banks, Inland revenue, utility firms etc are now using which generally cost you more than your land line as well as a percentage to the firm you are phoning. There is an excellent web site that beats these numbers and all you do is type in the 0845 or similar type number and the name of the person/business you are trying to contact and then 'search' and it will usually come up with a land line number and quite often an 0800 number which of course is entirely free. The web site is: www.saynoto0870.com

The Costa Blanca Feral Cat Trust will be returning to Calpe again this year to trap, neuter then release stray & feral cats. As usual we shall be using the surgery at the Sociedad Protectora de Animales at Les Basetes, to whom we are grateful. The team will arrive on the 9th November & will work through until the 14th November. The cats that we have seen before are tipped with a V in their ear, so are already neutered. If you have any strays that you wish us to trap in Calpe then please telephone Sue on 965875314 as we are only here for the 1 week in Calpe.
