The Silves Bombeiros received €5000 for new bedding at their fire station, and the Messines Bombeiros were allocated another €5000 for their new uniforms.

In collaboration with ALERTA and Debbie Burton, we supplied 1700 bottles of water and soft drinks to the Bombeiros fighting the fire in Aljezur.

We are also providing food for families and elderly in Monte de Charneca, and paid half of the cost of the local scouts’ summer camping trip.

We could not do this without the help of all of you who support us in many ways by going to our Charity Shop in Messines and the Barn at Roosters. Thank you.

Additionally, we host Table Top Sales on the second Saturday of the month, costing €7 for a table or €5 if you have your own, and the next takes place on October 11 from 10am to 11am at Roosters N270, BOICAS, 8375-018.
