Recent Fundraising Bike Ride – Madrid to Camposol
You may recall the intrepid (and probably gruelling) cycle from Madrid to Camposol over five days. The total amount raised is an amazing 7,356.01Ä! So a big thank you to Gary McMurray, Neil Sanders, Lee McGovan, Steve Malcolm and Paul Thomas – supported by Andy Leatherbarrow in the van supplied by Citroën Mazarrón.
Rendezvous 1st anniversary
Rendezvous Camposol celebrated their 1st anniversary recently with a ticketed event and raffled a 55” television in association with MABS. This has raised an awesome 1,032Ä. So a huge thank you.
Skydive!
After delays caused by the awful weather in March, Mark Miles finally managed his fundraising 3,800m skydive for MABS. More details soon.

Thank you
A big shout out to everyone that makes it possible for us to help those that need it – all who have donated furniture, bric-a-brac, clothes etc. And especially to all our volunteers giving up their time (and for van workers sometimes blood and sweat) to ensure we can continue.
How you can help:
Volunteers – We always need more hands (as it were) so if you can spare a few hours and would like to help we would love to see you. It’s very rewarding work and makes a huge difference to those that need our help.
Shop workers – various roles in our shop in Totana. Car share available from Camposol B
Reception help at the Respite Home
Van workers/drivers – collecting/delivering furniture etc. in the local areas. Meet at the van outside the Respite Home
Manning the Helpline phone on a rota basis
Patient drivers – driving patients to their appointments (out of pocket expenses paid)
Just phone or email us, or call into ourRespite Homeon Avenida de Los Covachos 278 on Camposol B2.
