My name is Deana Wake, and I am writing on behalf of my elderly mother to express our deepest gratitude for Marie. Marie truly goes above and beyond, working tirelessly around the clock out of the pure goodness of her heart. She has helped hundreds of elderly people in our community with everything from complex forms and equipment to vital advice. Marie is always there with 100% dedication, helping the less fortunate when they need it most. As the face and heart of Age Concern, she is a pillar of our community, and our family simply could not have coped without her invaluable support

Dear Nicola
Although you asked me to liaise with Age Concern directly, please accept this email as a 'one off'
as I need to say a special thank you to you and Marie-Andree and Dominic for helping me to get back on my feet.
You all show compassion and care!
I am not back where I should be yet but I am on my way as my confidence has returned and although my efforts
to find work have not been successful I still remain positive as I am prepared to do anything.
Thank you all.
Kind regards Victor.

Age 81 yrs But 21 yrs 👏Estepona 27th August 2026
My brother from the UK has lived in Estepona for over 30 yrs. He lost his wife 4yrs ago so has no family to help locally. He has displayed signs of dementia recently and on Christmas Day had a mild stroke and went into Costa del Sol hospital where dementia was also confirmed. We found Age Concern Estepona and along with two wonderful friends who helped my brother and family were helped immeasurable by Marie-Andree.
She immediately eased our stress by providing advice on procedures about obtaining care and financial help and was always available to talk on any other relevant queries .Her patience and compassion was reassuring at a difficult time. The family cannot thank you enough. We would also like to thank everyone involved with Age Concern Estepona for providing a crucial service for ex pats in need

Age Concern Estepona & Manilva, a very informative, helpful, resourceful, caring and understanding charity. Marie-Andree has truly been a saint assisting me finding help and equipment for my elderly parents, giving advice and support in every way possible. She really does go that extra mile. I cannot praise them enough and really don't know how we would have coped without them.

I would like to thank the staff and especially the president Marie Andree Gleeson for all the help they gave me in the last year of my partners life without the help from Mrs Gleeson i would have found it impossible to treat him at home- Kenneth Hall

Marie-Andree could not have been more helpful when I took an elderly friend to see her about his wife, who needs care. Great advice and practical help. Very many thanks.
