Marbella recognizes the altruistic work of volunteers in a new edition of the Solidarity Awards

Yesterday afternoon, the Cortijo Miraflores Cultural Center hosted the 2025 Marbella Solidarity Awards ceremony, an event that gathered representatives from 21 social entities and dozens of residents committed to improving their environment. The event featured the presence of the Councilor for Social Rights, Isabel Cintado, who highlighted "the essential role that volunteers play in building a fairer and more inclusive society."

During the ceremony, driven by the Platform for the Promotion of Volunteering in Marbella, the selfless work of Ángela Callejas from the Marbella Voluntaria Association was recognized as 'Junior' volunteer; Montse Morata from Casa Ángeles of the Global Gift Foundation, as 'Adult' volunteer, and Clara Peker from the Cudeca Foundation, as 'Senior' volunteer.

In the collective category, the award went to the project 'Con canas y al cole', an intergenerational initiative promoted by the Marbella Voluntaria association that fosters connections between the elderly and the young through activities in educational centers. The councilor thanked the entities and individuals during the ceremony, which also included the reading of the Manifesto for Volunteer Day, reminding everyone that "in Andalusia, there are more than 150,000 citizens who dedicate part of their time to others, a figure that rises to more than one billion worldwide and represents a global network of solidarity, effort, and commitment, acting on the front lines in crises, creating social bonds, and giving voice to the most vulnerable."
