Boas Quintas supports a stroll along the riverside of Tejo
“Ageing in Citizenship” is the motto of the new project of the Associação Coração Amarelo, supported by Boas Quintas.
The Associação Coração Amarelo, IPSS founded in 2000, submitted this project in 2014, to the “BPI Senior” Awards and was one of 19 institutions included among the more than 700 applications received.
The project consisted in the purchase of a set of 4 wheelchairs driven by bicycles, which are operated by volunteers, aiming to stroll along the riverside of Tejo, seniors who are regularly accompanied by the Association, helping them to avoid loneliness, revisiting our wonderful river Tejo so often away from their routines, feel the salty air, the ferries and hear the seagulls, between the Padrão dos Descobrimentos and the Torre de Belém!
The Herdade da Gâmbia and Quinta da Giesta wines excelled during the launching ceremony of the project, which took place at the restaurant “Vela Latina” in Belém on June 26th, counting with the sponsorship of Boas Quintas and the presence of the Winemaker Nuno Cancela de Abreu.
