Gala Fundraising Evening
THE British Benevolent Fund was founded over a century ago to act as the ‘charity of last resort’ for Britons who face extreme financial hardship in Spain.
The BBF works with charity partners across the country as well as the UK consular network to help. The British Ambassador to Spain is the honorary patron. The British community in Spain has grown enormously since its inception and the needs of Britons grown with it.
We help those who have nowhere else to turn and who face the worst that life can throw at them many times exasperated by illness and incapacity.
We can only help people with your help.
The BBF is part of the British community in Spain and works 365 days a year for it with an allvolunteer membership of people from all walks of life and all parts of Spain. There is no office and there are no salaried staff.
To help raise funds and awareness the BBF has joined forces with the Fundacion Cudeca for a flagship fundraising gala to be held at the Uppery Club in Malaga on Saturday May 20.
Guests will be treated to a VIP night at Malaga’s newest and most sought after locations for a glittering evening including welcome reception, threecourse dinner with all wines, star raf fle with thousands of euros worth of prizes and late bar.
Tickets are €125 with both the BBF and Cudeca as the beneficiaries of the evening. If you would like to support our work and cause we would be delighted to welcome you.

YOUR boat has been locked away in storage, and with the sunny weather fast approaching you are itching to get her wet for the first time this season! You get her dewinterised, antifouled and everything gets checked over thoroughly before you experience the exhilarating feeling of taking her out to your favourite spots. Even though you have taken care of all the physical aspects to make sure your rides will be pleasurable and trouble free, it is easy to forget to take care of any unforeseen and above all unhappy events that might occur whilst taking your prized possession for a spin.
