AWAY Portugal September

 

Sunday 8th September 2024 - TACC donated €2000 to a children’s cancer charity called Acreditar in Lisbon ahead of the Portugal vs Scotland match.

 

Acreditar are an association of parents of children and young people who have or have had cancer.  Together they support the families to face the challenges that paediatric cancer imposes providing support in a time of uncertainty.  They support parents at the point of diagnosis, treatment and post treatment.  Showing empathy, professionalism and above all understanding as they themselves have previously gone through the experience.  The core values of the charity are empathy, a sense of community and hope.

 

The money donated today is to be used to improve the garden in the children’s play area.  Derek and Kevin had a very moving visit to meet some of the children who although going through treatment were full of smiles.

 

Thanks to all our incredible supporters who help us brighten the lives for some very poorly kids.  Without your support we could not support worthwhile causes like Acreditar.
