Charity Support
Noll Sotogrande Charity Support, an initiative to contribute to our community.
Charlie Gubbins and I , Stephanie Noll are fortunate enough to live in Sotogrande. We are also individuals who have travelled the world and experienced life in what people would call third world countries. We have witnessed first-hand in Africa and Latin America less fortunate families, who cannot feed themselves or their children.
Currently supporting: Banco de Alimentos Campo de Gibraltar
Banco de Alimentos de Campo de Gibraltar, created 25 years ago, is a non-profitable organisation without any political or union links, where all activities are carried out through volunteers, with the sole exception of an administrative hired person, working four hours a day. The EU also supports BACG contributing with food packages.
If you would like to join us, we would be very grateful if you contribute with a donation. Every little helps, it could be as a monthly donation or as a one off contribution.
Stephanie and Charles launched a “GoFundMe-Charity” account to raise funds through donations and collaborate with the more than 20,000 families in need, served by “Banco de Alimentos” institution in Campo de Gibraltar.
Thank you for supporting Sotogrande’s neighbours!
My Story, by Stephanie Noll.
On a number of occasions I experienced the unconditional help from neighbours; when I was injured and having to take care of my child on my own, neighbours came to help with prepared meals. When both my son and I were very ill, neighbours instantly helped with everything. I will be forever grateful! Something you just never forget!

My experience with people in need. By Charles Gubbins.
As an individual I recognize that I am privileged. What’s more I have lived in parts of the world and seen first had what is REAL poverty, what is REAL suffering, and what is REAL hunger. I was born and brought up in South America, where I first realized that the world was made up of “haves” and “have nots”, and from a very young age I was taught and made to understand that life is very difficult for the vast proportion of any population. Over the years I have been involved in charitable endeavours. I am a big believer in saying such as “what goes around comes around”, and “do onto others as you would like done to yourself”. There are many ways one can help. For example, I have a standing order to donate to the RED CROSS, and I have in the past sponsored a child in Uganda. These are personal initiatives and ones that add up if many people participate and donate.
