UPDATE:

Further to our recent donation of 2100 bottles of water in July, Amovate have purchased a further 2100 bottles to add to their store, as the recent fires has seen the store cupboard looking nearly empty.

 The water will be delivered to the Station today,  and we thank all our members for helping us make this much needed donation.

 Membership fees as well as other income sources allow these worthy causes to be supported, so please continue to help us help others.

Amovate Committee have decided to donate 2100 x 0.5ltr bottles of water to the Aljezur Bombeiros to store at the Station House for use in emergency fire situations, for refreshing the crews fighting fires.

 Generally the support comes from the Associação Alerta de incendio Florestal /Forest fire Alert who will back up local support with food and water in extreme situations.

 The contact for this area is Sally Henman and with her daughter Selina they respond to calls for help and deliver goods to the station house or close to the Fire Point.

 Amovate of course have always supported the Bombeiros, and are helping out whilst Sally recovers from an operation on her arm.

 Generally obtaining large amounts of hand held water from shop shelves can prove difficult, and we ask that maybe when you’re out shopping you might buy a pack and keep it until there is a need to take it to a collection point.

 Hopefully the water Amovate have supplied will not be required but I doubt that very much.
