WHY? - because many of the challenges that face newcomers and even people already living on the Island can be alleviated through the experience of others. "TO HELP EACH OTHER" was the founding concept of ESRA 25 years ago and it remains true today. ESRA members comprise an invaluable source of information on the joys and pitfalls of starting a new life outside the UK. Members are a source of friendship and companionship which can be so necessary when left alone and in a new environment. They can offer help to each other and, where language might otherwise present a barrier, share personal experiences. An emergency hotline telephone number is available to members.
Members participate in regular social and welfare activities which are all publicised and reported in monthly newsletters and the annual "Year Book".
The Association works with the British Consulate, charities, and other associations with similar aims, and assists members to integrate into Mallorquin society.
ESRA is a non-political, non-religious, non-commercial organization.
