Last week’s two Filigree Workshops raised €149 in support of our APF charity. Thank you to all who attended, your participation made a difference. We’re pleased to share that we will definitely be hosting this event again in September.

Thursday’s Justice tour raised an incredible €600 for the Court of Appeal charity. They will use this money to buy food & support their 4 causes! Thank you so much to everyone who attended.

Thank you to everyone who brought gifts & gave donations for the recent quiz night event!

Today, we went to Kastelo House to drop off 44 gifts for staff & we also bought them a coffee machine & some goodies with the remaining money so that they can really feel appreciated!

Thursdays chocolate tasting at Glad was much more successful than we originally hoped. We were fundraising for the PK fund. However, we managed to raise €140 which we have decided to donate to APF organization. Thank you so much to those who attended!

We will be hosting one again roughly in the middle of the year!

Yesterday, Porto Kind officially received the deeds!

The lady holding the deeds is Barbara, a Portuguese lawyer who has taken us on pro-bono. She will also become PK secretary (as all the meeting minutes need to be written down in Portuguese). We are so grateful to have her on board.

Last nights olive oil tasting at theLab was fabulous. We raised €200 in donations and then the most magical part of the evening, theLab, said they would match the donation so an incredible €400 is on its way to Kastelo House! We are beyond words with this generosity, a big thank you to Mike & Ryan form theLab & all our attendees!

On Saturday, 6 April we had a wonderful relaxed cocktail gathering at The Yeatman hotel. Thirty members of the Porto Together Community gathered together to raise money for the APF while enjoying eachother’s company. The weather was perfect to sit out on the terrace with our Porto Tonics and enjoy the stunning views of Porto and the River Douro.

We were very lucky to have Nuno and Catarina from APF join us for the event. They were able to take time to talk with us individually about the good work that APF does.

Nuno and Catarina also had a special message of thanks to the Community for all that we do to help support them. Your generosity means a lot to the APF and means they can do things that they normally wouldn’t have the funds for.

This month we have been able to donate €500 to the APF from money raised by this event plus our other charity collection activities (bookmarks/cards, nametags and vegetables from Laura’s Horta) .

Thank you to everyone for your generous support of our charity work. If you would like to read more about APF you can visit our APF information page on this website.
