During his year as Worshipful Master of Prince Henry the Navigator Lodge, which ran until earlier this year, Worshipful Brother Colin Hearn made Centre Algarve his chosen charity.
Centre Algarve, run by the Associação Causa Vibrante, is situated near Moncarapacho and is mainland Europe’s only specialist holiday centre. It is fully equipped to allow a family with a member that has special needs, learning difficulties or physical disabilities, young and old, to experience a wonderful holiday with their family or carers.
Colin held his Ladies Festival evening in a marquee in the Centre’s grounds, held a Garden Party at his home, and hosted regular lunches. The Lodge added to his efforts with a 1,000 euro contribution from its charity collections at its regular meetings, and the total raised was a magnificent 4,198 euros.
Today at the Centre, Colin (on the left of the picture) presented a cheque on behalf of the Lodge to Tom Willis – The Centre Manager.
