Parachute Jump

As you can see, there are a range of regular events taking place to help

raise the vital funds to enable Algarve Emporium to continue its work. It

currently costs €500 per week to provide the food for families and like

everything else, these costs are rising. What would be fantastic is if

more people raised money at their own events to raise money for the

charity. If you have a coffee morning planned, a sponsored walk, a even

a cheese and wine evening, please do consider using them as an

opportunity to raise all important funds for Algarve Emporium.

One of our supporters that did just that is Bruce Lygo, who used his 80th

birthday as an opportunity to raise funds by completing a Skydive.

Already a regular contributor, Bruce selected Algarve Emporium as the

charity to benefit from his birthday challenge. It was a beautiful day,

with very little wind, perfect conditions for the Skydive, especially for

those that had come along to watch him ‘falling out of the sky’. Bruce

confessed that it was something he signed up for ‘on a whim’ and

having done it wouldn’t necessarily rush to do it again. Bruce said, ‘I’m

glad I did it and was glad to get down. I’m pleased it raised so much’.

His birthday Skydive raised €1000 for Algarve Emporium.
