Clothes Bank Moved

Amovate has finally been able to clean up and get the horrible eyesore that was the clothes bank moved. Although nothing to do with Amovate, we have moved the deposit to the Old School House with the help of Laura from the Municipio de Aljezur, serviço de ambient, for any of you who need to DEPOSIT clothes for the charity.
Please keep our lovely part of the world clean! Just a little help from everyone and we can continue to live in paradise!

Amovate Support Local Charity Again

The Charity, St. Vincente de Paul Society, are at the moment supporting 30 families for Christmas Dinner.  Amovate have decided to help out again by donating €500 towards this cause.

Last year the numbers were fewer, but since the pandemic more families have fallen on difficult times and Amovate agree that Christmas should be enjoyed by all.

 Amovate asked people who were attending the Party on the 4th December (which unfortunately is cancelled due to the new Government Rules on Covid), to take something along to help in this time of need.  Perhaps there are people who still wish to donate gifts (non perishable items) no matter how small, and as usual the box at the Restaurante Fonte Do Vale is still in place just inside the door of the front porch. Hopefully these gestures will make things a bit better for the families over the Festive period.

We have also been asked if we will accept cash donations, well the answer is yes!.   If you make contact by emailing info@amovate.com we will be happy to make that arrangement. Your details will be passed onto Amovate’s Treasurer who will be happy to give the Bank Details so transfers can be made.

Last year Amovate supported the same cause and many people, some non members, donated food and non-perishable items,  which was much appreciated.

 Thanking you all in anticipation of your help

4th December – Party

Due to the current Covid situation, and new regulations coming into force on 1st December, Sofia from the Restaurante Fonte do Vale, on our behalf, sought clarification from the GNR and the Câmara.
Having taken their advice and recommendations, it is with much regret that Amovate has taken the decision to cancel this event.
Hopefully, another event can be organised for some time in the future.
For those who have already collected your tickets from the Restaurante Fonte do Vale, if you take them back, you will be handed your envelope with your money inside.
Apologies for this, and thank you for your continued support.
