For more than a decade, the Duquesa Charitable Society of Saint George has ensured that hundreds of local disadvantaged children receive Christmas gifts. Last year, the Charity partnered with the Estepona-based volunteer group Frente Bolillón, contributing €2,000 to support the distribution of presents to children in Manilva, Casares and Estepona.
This Christmas, the Saint George Charity is proud to increase its donation to €2,500 as part of its 2025 Christmas Campaign, helping to bring joy to even more young people across the three municipalities. The Charity extends heartfelt thanks to its volunteers, customers, donors and supporters whose generosity makes this work possible — a true community effort.
Frente Bolillón – Bringing Christmas joy to children in Estepona, Casares and Manilva
Every year, Frente Bolillón leads one of the most touching festive initiatives on the western Costa del Sol: the “Ningún Niño Sin Juguete” (No Child Without a Toy) campaign. With the support of local residents, businesses and community groups, the collective works tirelessly to ensure that some 500 children from vulnerable families wake up on Three Kings Day with a gift of their own.
Working closely and discreetly with social services, schools and neighbourhood associations, the organisation identifies families most in need and provides new, age-appropriate toys chosen with care. Throughout December, donation points across Estepona, Casares and Manilva fill with contributions, while volunteers sort, prepare and wrap each present to guarantee that every child receives something special.
Frente Bolillón’s initiative has grown year after year, becoming a symbol of solidarity and the belief that no child should miss out on the magic of Christmas. Their message remains simple and powerful: when a community comes together, every child can feel the joy and dignity they deserve.
