Support for Families and Algarve Emporium Charity (both part of Associação Guarda Chuva) since March 2020, have joined together to support families and individuals suffering from the devastating effects of the Covid 19 crisis.

Because of lack of fundraising/events this year APAA has had designed Christmas cards (by Gill Goode) and Calendars (by Jackie Billings), all now on sale in our Charity shops at Alvor and Silves.

The ROTARY CLUB of ESTOI PALACE INTERNATIONAL (RCEPI) offers you opportunity to have a personalised photograph taken at the ESTOI PALACE POUSADA: yourselves and your family or friends, just book an appointment, come to the hotel and our professional photographer will organise the photoshoot in one of the best locations inside the hotel or the garden.

Algarve west coast community association, Amovate, has stepped up its charity work to bring aid to people in the area suffering through the pandemic.

Castelo de Sonhos registered charity has more than 200 elderly in need living in the Silves area. This Christmas we would again like to help them and we are now planning the 16th Annual Shoebox Drive for the Elderly. The boxes will be delivered by the Castelo de Sonhos team. We hope you will participate.

In a little under a month, Charlie Perring is setting off on Long Way Across, a 301 kms non-stop trek (east to west) of the Algarve, to raise funds for the Wildlife Ranger Challenge - an initiative created by TUSK to support the men and women rangers who dedicate their lives patrolling the national parks and game reserves of Africa, to protect the precious wildlife that remains there.
