Help where it's needed

41 Club Nerja, the club for ex-Round Table members, has donated €500 from its charity account to Nerja Solidaria de Alimentos, the local food bank.
THE bank is staffed entirely by volunteers and is part of a network which buys basic foods and personal hygiene products wholesale and then distributes them to families identified as being in special need.
Nerja Solidaria President, Miguel Benitez, said: “Nerja relies on tourism so this year has been devastating, and some families found themselves without a single breadwinner.”
Benitez presented a ‘Certificate of Thanks’ to Brian Karet, a volunteer and secretary of 41 Club.
Dr Karet said: “In the short time I have been working here the numbers of families needing help has more than tripled, and the situation may not improve for a long time.”
Donations, however small, are welcome and can be made to the Town Hall, or via 41 Club.
