ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

Support for the protection of rights

The Amparar Programme provides financial support and care assistance to meet the basic needs of food, housing, healthcare and medication for vulnerable elderly people in the British community. The programme also includes regular visits from our Welfare team to check in on the elderly and monitor their health.

Currently, 22 elderly people are supported by the project, which provides ongoing monitoring and occasional support services. In 2025, our Welfare team carried out 341 visits to those benefiting from the programme.

I have been attending the CCI since 2018. I’ve done courses in theatre, circle dance, Pilates and yoga. And I love these activities! I’m so grateful to the Foundation for providing us with this quality of life.

Alice de Fátima Silva Community Centre for the Elderly

The Foundation’s work has helped mea great deal with my health issues. I have two carers who look after me on alternate days; they cook for me and accompany me to appointments and medical tests. I feel that I am very well looked after in every way.

Anne Speyer The Cuidar Programme

It is a huge pleasure for me to be part of the CCI. The course content, the warm welcome and the respect the team shows to people are excellent. I never imagined there was a programme of this quality that was free of charge.

A from the Foundation is vital in enabling us to pay the bills at the Casa Madre Teodora care home for the elderly, as we receive no government support. I can only thank the directors and the entire team for the financial assistance and the donations we have received over the last few years.
