How You Can Help
Asociación Girasol was registered in January 2011 and serves the communities that cover the Antequera Hospital area.
Asociación Girasol is a registered charity offering support to people with advanced, incurable illnesses (eg. cancer), their families and carers, in these communities. Asociación Girasol is a voluntary organisation, which does not receive any government help and is dependent on voluntary donations and fundraising activities to offer a quality service. Why Become a Friend?
Becoming a 'Friend of Girasol' is easy; you just need to support the good
work that they do. We want to build up a group of like-minded people who can help support this much needed service in Alameda, Fuente de Piedra, Humilladero and Mollina. By becoming a 'Friend of Girasol' there are many ways you can help. 1. SPREAD THE WORD. Just telling others about the work of Girasol will encourage others to become 'Friends' or Volunteers, who can do so through this website or on our Facebook group page, where you can also 'like' the page and send it on to your Facebook friends. 2. VOLUNTEERS. Girasol is always looking for volunteers and there are many ways in which you could become one. Click on the link at the top of the page to see how you may help. 3. DONATE. If you are unable to become a volunteer for whatever reason then could you donate? There is a 'Donate' link at the top of the page where you will find out how you can help in this way. 4. FUNDRAISING. As a charitable organisation Girasol receives no public funding and so 'Friends of Girasol' is one way of helping to raise funds. As well as the stall on Saydo Market, funds are raised by events such as coffee mornings, wine and cheese parties or tapas evenings. Would you be able to host a fund-raising event? We are always looking for volunteers to do so and would also welcome new ideas. If you feel you can help in this way contact us via our contact page. 5. SWEEPSTAKE. We are looking for people to run a 'Friends of Girasol' sweepstake in any of the four villages, Mobile Home Parks, Bars etc. The sweepstake is run on the UK Lottery bonus ball on Saturdays and has 59 numbers. Each number costs 1 euro and a prize of 30 euros goes to the person who has the bonus ball number drawn on Saturday night, the balance of the money being donated to Asociación Girasol. If you would like more information or feel that this is something you could do then please contact us through the contact page. SPONSORSHIP. Do you know any Businesses, organisations etc, that would be interested in sponsoring the Asociación. This could be by funds, goods or services. If you do, please contact us.
