Helping You, Helping Spain – Our Way of Giving Back

At Upsticks, we are incredibly passionate about what we do. Helping people navigate residency and start their new lives in Spain isn’t just a job for us—it’s a mission. We love seeing our community settle in and thrive under the Spanish sun!

As our community grows, we receive more and more questions every day. While we love sharing our expertise and helping out with those “little things” that make a big difference, we are ultimately a business. Our priority must always be to look after our contracted clients and ensure they receive the full dedicated support they’ve hired us for.

A New Way to Say “Gracias”

We often give out free advice and help with small tasks that we don’t feel we can—or should—charge for. However, if you find value in this free support, we would really appreciate it if you considered making a small donation to one of our preferred charities instead of paying us:

  • ACE | SHIN (Animal Care España): Most of us at Upsticks are huge animal lovers. Many of our staff and clients work directly with this charity, and several of us have rescued our own dogs from them in recent years. Between extreme weather events and rising costs, things have become very tough for the shelter. To show our support, Upsticks proudly sponsors the ACE|SHIN annual calendar and their charity golf events. Every little bit helps them keep the clinic running and the animals safe. Donate to ACE Charity

  • Age in Spain: This organization provides vital help and information for people in Spain who often have no one else to turn to. They are a true lifeline, ensuring that members of our community have the support they need to live independent lives as they age. Donate to Age in Spain

Treat the Team to “Friday Tapas”

If you’d rather say thanks to the Upsticks team directly for the time we’ve spent helping you, you can always “buy us a coffee” via the link below. We say “coffee,” but let’s be honest—it’s much more likely to go towards some well-earned Friday afternoon Tapas for the team! 💃🍻

Whether you choose to support a charity or treat the team, your kindness helps us keep doing what we love while supporting the community around us.

Thank you for being part of the Upsticks journey!
