‘Tavira 2nd Chance’ is celebrating its fourth anniversary
Over the past four years, numerous deserving causes have benefitted from the fundraising efforts of a group of volunteers who go under the banner of ‘Tavira 2nd Chance’.
Centred on small but overflowing premises at 29A Rua Dr Parreira, near the Tavira riverfront, the shop celebrates its fourth birthday on Saturday, November 2. Everyone is welcome to pop in and enjoy a glass of good cheer and a slice of birthday cake between 10am and 1pm.
Ser Igual Associação, Lar e Centro de Dia (Altura), Cafap home for young adults, Refúgio Aboim Ascensão (Faro), Associação Uma Porta Amiga school for underprivileged children, Centro Social Santo Estévão Elderly Day Centre and Associação Âncora Day Centre for the Elderly are just a few of the many groups who have received support.
Bedding and clothing for families in need are always in demand. In addition to monies generated through the sale of second-hand goods, fundraising quizzes under the watchful eye of quizmaster Robbie Hubbard at the Black Anchor Irish Riverside Bar have proved to be a great success. A recent event, generously supported by ‘mine hosts’ Joy and Vinnie Kennedy, raised €750.
The shop is open every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10am to 1pm.
