The Town Council is to continue the programme of assistance for unemployed mothers which began last year and has proved to be a success. A subsidy of €50 per week is paid towards daycare costs so that the mums can use the time to seek employment or take up courses which will help them improve their quality of life.
To qualify, the unemployed mother must be registered on the padrón, must not be receiving, or have received, any similar benefits and the child must be aged three years or younger. The daycare centres involved in the scheme, all in Nerja, are Pequeñecos I and II, Snoopy and Mari Trini. Those interested in the scheme should go along to the Oficina de Atención al Ciudadano – Citizens Advice Centre – at the Town Hall between 10:00 and 14:00 or call 951 70 80 90….
