Sam Ted Robbins runs the Villa el Pinar guesthouse in Campoverde, as well as working as a full time carer. She is well respected in the local community for throwing her support behind every possible cause and is always willing to help.

Last week, something a little different, as she welcomed people into her home to share with them her collection of over 600 Father Christmas figures and artifacts.

In doing so, Sam raised 300 euros which was split between the AACC Cancer charity and the Campoverde Animal Welfare.

Both charities are extremely grateful for her kind donation.
