Helping Hands for Animals and People Águilas Murcia

Charity Group covering Águilas and Lorca in south-west Murcia

Helping Hands is based in the Águilas municipality, in the south-west of the Region of Murcia and offers assistance to animals and people alike in an area encompassing the Águilas and Lorca municipalities. The charity is multi-national, volunteers comprising a variety of nationalities from all walks of life, working together to offer assistance where it is needed within the local community.

Founded in May 2011 the principal activity of Helping Hands is to offer help by rescuing abandoned, mistreated and lost animals, responding to calls from locals finding animals in distress and ensuring they are treated and cared for in the most effective way possible. Fostering and rehoming is their ultimate goal when offering help to these animals and volunteers are always welcome to come along and assist in their rehabilitation; foster homes are also needed to accommodate abandoned and abused animals in the southern part of the Murcia Region.

They also extend their ”Helping Hands“ to supporting people in immediate need, as witnessed during the devastating earthquake of  2011 and the floods which followed the Gota Fría of 2012. Helping Hands launched an appeal and were able to provide hands-on assistance and supplies to many who lost possessions and others who lost their entire homes.

The Charity organises regular events to raise funds, which are held locally in the local area and include music nights, hypnotist comedy nights and daytime fayres with stalls and fun to be had for all.
