The Estoi Palace Rotary Club International (RCEPI) Annual Charity Golf Tournament is about a week away on 30th August 2018 and it's shaping up to be the best tournament yet. RCEPI wants to thank and acknowledge local businesses who are sponsoring the event. Funds raised will help the Algarve community.
We need your help! Children’s charity ACCA has started its annual drive to ensure that youngsters across the Algarve can start the new school year with confidence… and with the basic essentials to help them achieve. Your help is needed.
Although the government here does provide text books for the poorest, it does not supply children with the simple, everyday materials that are vital to support the learning process.
Every year, ACCA increases its back-to-school programme in an attempt to help as many kids as possible – in 2017 the charity gave out 850 back packs, filled with those all-important essentials and this year hopes to top that figure.

This is the first step in a new campaign launched by the Algarve Oncology (AOA) Association “Move-tePelaVida.Algarve” (MoveForYouLife.Algarve). Its purpose is designed to engage with the Algarve population by taking the health services directly to them. This is the way forward to reach a larger number of people and, more importantly, reach those who struggle to access “normal” health services, and to reduce the disparity in social classes accessing health care.
