FRIENDS OF TENERIFE – AMIGOS DE TENERIFE
The Association FRIENDS OF TENERIFE is a charitable organization originally formed by British ex-pats living in the North of Tenerife, and registered as AMIGOS DE TENERIFE with the number G38367892.
Its aim is to raise money to help people in need on the island, especially children. Over the years the Friends of Tenerife has given many thousands of Euros to a variety of worthy causes.
Donations given by the Friends of Tenerife between 2006 and 2010 totaled
52.816€, and included the following:
• Hospital Inmaculada |
4,623 € |

12,500 € |
• Hogar Santa Rita |

• Centro Matilde Tellez

We raise money by holding Events such as luncheons, dinner dances, car boot sales, auctions, and fashion shows. We have fun doing this, we meet new people and we give something back to the island we are privileged to call home. We are particularly proud of the fact that apart from administrative costs such as raffle prizes, postage, printing and stationery we donate all of the proceeds from our events.
So come along, Join Us and make lots of new friends whilst helping those less fortunate than ourselves. The Membership Fee is just 10 € and entitles you to preferential prices at all our events, plus copies of our Newsletters.
We also host a Business Directory on our website, costing just 40 € per entry.
