Red Cross says Thank you
Help at Home Costa Blanca were invited by Cruz Roja to a Presentation on Thursday 13th February in Alicante.
The invitation was for any people or groups who were involved in helping and assisting the Red Cross during the Dana /floods. Our President Carmen and General Secretary Patricia attended this event
Many of the services involved in the disaster were represented, including the Guardia Civil, The local police, and Fire Brigade. There were about 500 people in the audience mainly volunteers and employees of the Red Cross.
The main reason for the event, was to inform everyone about what had occurred. and what is still occurring. They showed the amounts of money involved and where the money came from and where it was spent.The Red Cross have spent 350,000euros so far and plan to spend another 250,000Euros in 2020.
On top of all the money they have raised, they have provided: furniture, Electrical goods, clothes, food, school equipment. They made a point of stating that many local people supported this collection, and distribution.
Our shop takings and the proceeds from the fundraiser we held also provided books and stationary for local schools who lost everything.
They showed a film of all the disaster zones, several Red Cross experts in planning and psychology explained some of the devastating effects for the people in our region. Including our contact in Orihuela Costa – Pilar.
We were extremely pleased to see the work that the Red Cross has undertaken, and that they plan to continue in 2020.
Red Hat ladies Christmas Lunch
These wonderful ladies meet for lunch every month and they raise funds for Charity.
We are so grateful that they have chosen our charity help at Home Costa Blanca yet again to be the recipient of their efforts to raise money for those in need in our local community.
At their Christmas Lunch they had a competition for the best hats these ladies were the winners.
Over 2019 they have donated a little under 2,000 Euros and we have used this to help many of our clients.
Christmas For our clients in need
We hope you all enjoyed your Christmas day yesterday and as a local Charity we are very aware there are many who do not have the resources to enjoy a Christmas meal or the little treats we associate with this time of year.
Thank you to our Volunteers Xmas Party
We have had a great year in 2019 and our volunteers have worked very hard , manning the phones and administering the Charity functions, serving in the shops, looking
after the welfare of our clients, driving deliveries to our customers so we wanted to say thank you to everyone and planned for a Christmas Party at The Emerald Isle..
So…..on Thursday 19th December after meticulous planning from Sheila Rowell our Chief Welfare Officer – the Charity Volunteers Christmas Party all came together.
We all had to arrive at 7pm for a traditional three course Christmas Dinner Meal.
Everyone had pre ordered their Christmas meal and wine and the tables were set. Crackers were ready to pull, white wine was chilling and red was breathing.
Carmen Our President welcomed everyone and then the meal was served.
Sylvia Shaker our Fund raiser had bought a little gift of Ferrero Rocher Chocolates and at the end of the meal we all enjoyed after eight mints.
Carmen our President welcomed everyone and we were ready to go.
The food was served quickly and was piping hot and tasty, the staff were very organised and the service was friendly,

We have some great news to share with you. We have done it again!!
We have raised a Massive 10,000€ which was our target to help Adiem, so another big thank you to all our volunteers and generous supporters.
Adiem helps people with mental health problems become more independent. They wish to build an extension to extend their premises in Torrevieja which will cost 18,000€ and we said we would raise them 10,000€ towards this and we did !!
At the Christmas Fayre at the Emerald Isle on 10th of December, we will present the BIG cheque for 10,000€ to them for their extension.
