Council contributes €24k for local seniors clubs

img 1448-1-Today Formentera Council president Jaume Ferrer put his signature on partnership deals with the island's four retirees and pensioners clubs. The administration gives the clubs €24,000 annually, funding which is intended to cover maintenance and service upgrades as well as outreach, activities coordination at the community level and collaboration with other associations over the course of 2018.

For the Council's €9,000 deal with the retirees and pensioners club of Sant Francesc, Ferrer signed an agreement with club president Margarita Sanchís. Rita Costa, president of a similar “social and senior centre” in Sant Ferran, oversaw confirmation of her group's €6,500 funding package. Maria Costa, chief of the la Savina retirees and pensioners club, saw to signing her own group's €4,500 endowment into effect, while the administration's €4,000 contribution to the la Mola association for the elderly was formalised by Jaume Escandell, the association's president.
