Beatriz Lara is from the Casa Verde Foundation on the Costa Blanca. She too is a social worker who has helped veterans and their dependants in numerous ways by assisting in training new and existing caseworkers as she guides them through the minefield that is the Spanish health care and Social Services system. Lara has also helped personally by providing specialist help, advice and action to support individual beneficiaries.

In gratitude for their efforts, particularly with the welfare teams and members of The Royal British Legion, the pair were recently presented with well-deserved Certificates of Appreciation by Don Cubbon, the Chairman of Spain North, in front of the whole of the District Committee.
