Arm in Arm provides charitable assistance to local residents and organisations in need
Algarve 41 Club continues its support of local Algarve charities that are dedicated to providing much-needed services and assistance to local residents. Recently, the Club made a donation of €500 to Arm in Arm. The presentation was made by the current Algarve 41 Club Honorary Secretary, Mike Trice.
Mike Smith, a member of Algarve 41 Club, had reason to dispose of his high specification mountain bike and very generously offered to donate the proceeds to Arm in Arm in the name of the club. Arm in Arm sold the bike for €350 and Algarve 41 Club topped this up to €500 from club funds.
Arm in Arm was started seven years ago by Ricky Hawes with the aim of providing charitable assistance to local residents and organisations in need of help. Today, they operate from a charity shop in São Bartolomeu de Messines (open Wednesday to Saturday, 10am to 2pm, and Sunday, 10am to 1pm) and a Charity barn, which is next to “Roosters” bar on the N270 at Portela de Messines (open Friday to Sunday, 11am to 2pm).
In order to fund their donations, Arm in Arm will carry out a total house clearance or collect any items that cannot be easily transported to the shop. Donations are also welcome at the shop.
As a charity, Arm in Arm is run 100% by volunteers and depends entirely on donations from a variety of sources. If you have a few hours a week to spare and would like to be part of such a project, Arm in Arm would be delighted to hear from you.
