TOM BURNS
1942 – 2025

Tom Burns was the first president of Age Concern Marbella-San Pedro.

He was a founding member of our branch, together with Stephen Brooksbanks, Don Lessor and Tony Bates. Unfortunately, they have all now passed on but we owe a debt of gratitude to them all for having the courage to start a brand new branch for Marbella and San Pedro.

He was fond of saying that the biggest problem here was the poverty of loneliness and isolation of the older generation locally and our mission was to alleviate that.

We still adhere to that mission statement, it underlines almost everything we do. From coffee mornings, to lunches, the events in our Community Centre to coach trips.

He was a man of great intellect and integrity but with compassion and understanding for those who found themselves in difficult circumstances.

His journey on this earth has ended, but the impact he made will continue through those who remember him. We will always remember his warmth and generosity.
