New Post Boxes

NOTIFICATION  OF  AVAILABILITY  OF  POST  BOXES
Unfortunately the Amovate have to advise that due to recent high demand for post boxes that, at this moment in time, we have no further post boxes available to issue for new requests. We are in continued discussions with CTT to resolve this issue but we ask for your understanding until a solution is found and more post boxes become available. We will of course update the websites when it becomes more clear of the current situation and a solution is found.

Portugal News

Please be advised that the newspapers have been delivered  to the usual place at the Old School House.
These papers are for Amovate Members ONLY.
Our thanks go to Ron and Pat Nutter, for their continued support in collecting the newspapers from Lagos.

2nd Delivery of Fresh Fruit & Veg

Amovate once again donate towards the much needed cause organised by the Sociedade São Vincente de Paulo in Aljezur, helping in these difficult times. Dry food stuff and household essentials are much in demand, and if you would like to donate, there is a box in the porch at the Fonte do Vale Restaurante. Every little donation is always gratefully received and much needed.

Here is a letter of thanks from the Society:

1st Delivery of Goods for the Needy in Aljezur

Today we took 7 trays of food as well as bottles of water, cartons of milk and household goods to the Charity Amovate helps support in Aljezur.

 To say they were truly grateful is an understatement, and it’s clear that they are so pleased to receive these goods.

 Amovate President, Ian Bedford, has received a voice message from the contact at the Charity and this is what she has said….

“Good Morning, my name is Fernanda, on behalf of myself and the Conference of Nossa Senhora da Alva we would like to thank everyone for their attitude and what they have done for us. In particular to all those we have assisted – these people who require our consideration, our friendship and our commitment in these troubled times.

At other times too but specifically now in this Pandemic, thank you for your Gifts.

 I am grateful and I am sure that everyone who receives them will also be so.

 I thank you from the bottom of my heart.  Keep Safe, and God bless you and may He protect you”.

Well done to all the people who have already donated……If you would like to help,  the collection point at the Restaurante Fonte do Vale is open from 12:00 – 21:00 hours and goods can be placed in the box inside the porch of the restaurant.
