Caring for others

From when we first arrived in Bigastro, we noticed how caring the people in the town were towards others. The elderly, the infirm, people with disabitilites and young children are cared for in a way that we didn't witness in Greasby where we lived on the Wirral.

In order to foster this understanding of other's needs, the town hosts events to promote awareness:-

The Association of Relatives of Alzheimer in collaboration with the Council of Social Welfare, have organised a "Flea Market" for the morning of Sunday, 18th of May in the Parque Municipal Huerto del Cura . Along with stalls, there will be games for children to take part in.

The aim is to encourage understanding for people who suffer from Alzheimer's.

In the evening at 6:30pm, the Council of Social Welfare have organised a Gala (an occasion when people dress up in their best clothes). They will be showing a video which illustrates what the Association for Disabled is doing for disabled people in the town.
