“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared” – Buddha

Raising funds for specific purposes, for example, to pay for an operation for a dog or to help building a clinic, is essential to our charity.  We also do regular collections points where people can donate old blankets, dog beds, collars, cleaning products, food, medication that’s not needed anymore etc.

Reoccurring events

ALDI Collection point

Every first Saturday of the month, we have a collection point at our local ALDI in La Línea.  People can have a chat with us about the charity and often they are very kind and buy cleaning products or animal essentials while they do their personal shopping and then, on the way out, they donate them at our stall. We then distribute the goodies to the different shelters, depending on their needs at that point. This has become a sort of institution and we’ve been overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity.

Markets

Another regular fundraiser are the markets in Sabinillas (on Sundays) and San Roque (on Saturdays). Time and volunteer permitting, we try to do one each every month. We’ve been very lucky to have received so many donations of second hand clothing, books, dvds, games kitchen supplies, toys etc which we then sell. Usually, we generate a profit of 180 – 200 Euros per market which is incredible. We love doing the markets and always bring some music and coffee and snacks to make the most of it!  If you fancy joining us, we always need helping hands. From experience we know that the more volunteers we are, the more we sell! 

Big events

A few times a year, we try to organize bigger events, often to raise funds for a specific shelter or cause.  All of our events have been very different but always great fun and successful.  They are a great opportunity to support local businesses, artists and a way of combining entertainment with a a good cause.

Past Events

  • Jukebox night
    The Jukebox Night was an experiment that went down really well!  At the beautiful beach bar BLANCO in Alcaidesa, we organised a buffet with vegan options and Chica DJs offered their services to be live a Live JukeBox for the evening. People could pay a Euro for any song they wanted. We also had a raffle and an auction of humans! Local restaurants had donated breakfasts or dinners and people could auction themselves off and go on a date with the highest bidder! It was a lot of fun! We managed to raise over 1600 Euros for the local cat shelter El Gato Andaluz!  They sadly lost their land and are raising funds to buy or rent a new plot of land to start from scratch. So we wanted to lend them a helping paw! 
  • Jornada de puertas abiertas
    Last year we helped the local shelter Sociedad Protectora en Plantas y Animales del Campo de Gibraltar (Algeciras) several times with their open door day. Some of our volunteers cooked food to sell to raise funds, we organised a raffle and also had our stall to sell t-shirts and second hand items. Each time over 1000 Euros were raised to help with paying off vet bills!
  • Cabaret night
    The Cabaret night was a hilarious event, thanks to the amazing Lola Boys who were booked as a donation by TAC’s very own Treasurer! Anyone who knows the Lola Boys will agree that they definitely get the crowd going. Everyone was in stitches!  The wonderful restaurant La Cabaña in Sotogrande with the very kind owners Juan and Raquel prepared a yummy buffet for vegans and carnivores.  To finish the night off, we did a raffle and all in all, over 1500 Euros were raised! Again for the most needy shelters in the Campo of Gibraltar. 
  • Fun casino night
    That particular night was organised by one of our volunteers Karolina who had the amazing idea to combine a Thai dinner with a Casino night at our local Thai restaurant Thai Fusion in Alcaidesa. Richard Atkinson donated a poker and roulette table, together with croupiers, to the event and people could buy fake money to gamble all throughout the night. Thais Fusion prepared a delicious three course meal with vegan options and after the food, we also had a raffle and an auction. People were very kind and generous and over 2600 Euros were raised for different local charities!  To finish the night, Chica DJs, Sarah and PJ got the party started on the dance floor!  An unforgettable night for sure!
