					<description><![CDATA[Cáritas  is a large charity providing broad social support in several areas to those in need. Most support is local, while other support may draw on projects run over a wider area. In addition, pastoral support work is carried out through parishes.

While it is the main charity in Spain belonging to the Roman Catholic church, receiving support is not based on faith and is open to anyone, irrespective of your views on religion and the work uses trained volunteers and professionals.

In order to contact Cáritas or ask about the possibility of support you can: Contact the local Roman Catholic parish church nearest where you live; contact one of the Cáritas centres available in many larger towns which are run by the local dioceses; or contact your local town hall Social Services department. 

Cáritas can help anyone in an emergency, the door is always open, however for longer-term support users will normally be asked to attend an assessment of their needs.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Royal British Legion exists to provide assistance to ex-Service people, their dependents and carers. Anyone who has served seven or more days in any of the Armed Services could be eligible for a wide range of assistance. Serving members are also helped.

Local branches cover certain parts of Spain, (principally parts of Andalucía, Murcia and the Costa Blanca/south of Valencia area), with local meetings and branch committees. As well as providing friendly social meetings with membership open to everyone, (not just ex-Armed Services personnel), they also fulfil an important role providing local welfare support for former armed forces members through their volunteer branch welfare officers.

In addition to local branches, if any former member of the British Services needs help, and especially if there is no local branch in their area, they may choose to contact the Royal British Legion in the UK to enquire what help is available in Spain or the volunteer District Community Support Team for Spain North which can also give advice wherever the person in need is in Spain.]]></description>
