Thanks to the generosity of local businessman Barry Sadler, Madrugada opened its first charity shop in Praia da Luz on Saturday June 9. The charity has been given rent-free premises situated at the start of the main road as one enters the town from Lagos. (In photo Left to right: John Moir whose late wife Mo inspired Madrugada, opens its first charity shop with president Alison Blair and shop manager Helen Stokes.)
It comes complete with a large shop, office suite and storeroom.
Shop manager is Helen Stokes (Tm: 966666314) who is assisted by Annette Brown and a group of volunteers. Madrugada is appealing to readers to bring in any unwanted clothes, household goods or other saleable items. Contact Helen Stokes: 966666314. The shop is open Mon-Fri 10.30am-3.30pm and Saturday 10am-1pm.
Madrugada means ‘dawn’ in Portuguese symbolising the start of a project aiming at eventually building a centre where it can help people and their families in the Algarve change how they live and cope with serious illness by strengthening their general health and emotional well-being.
