Message from the Amovate Committee
To all those who generously donated to the playground GoFundMe initiative—thank you.
In 2024, Amovate launched a fundraising campaign to build a safe, compliant playground beside the Old School House in Vales, a cherished gathering place for families. Thanks to your incredible support, we successfully reached our €10,000 goal.
Unfortunately, despite engaging with the Aljezur Câmara (property owners), the project has not progressed. After careful consideration, Amovate has made the difficult decision to refund all donations.
If you contributed, please send:
• Proof of donation (e.g., screenshot)
• Your bank details Email: playgroundrefunds@amovate.com
Community Concerns & Local Infrastructure
Many residents have raised concerns regarding:
• Road conditions
• Waste removal
• Green waste skips
• Water & infrastructure
• Fire safety clearance
• Development plans for Vale da Telha
These matters fall under the jurisdiction of local authorities. Residents are encouraged to contact them directly (preferably in Portuguese), copying Amovate for awareness.
• Câmara: geral@cm-aljezur.pt
• Freguesia: geral@jf-aljezur.pt
Please note that Amovate works openly and constructively with elected representatives to support residents and responds to the needs of our community. However, Amovate is not responsible for work and activities undertaken by the Council. Amovate is politically independent and does not support any political party. Final note: We have been made aware of an upcoming event to be held on 19/5/2026 stating “that the Sports Olympics initiative was created with the aim of informing the public about the sports programs offered by local clubs and associations to residents of the municipality. We are currently contacting various clubs and associations to determine their availability to showcase one or more of their sports activities.“
