Last Wednesday 22nd April 2015 the Provincial Grand Master of Valencia Norman Wheatley presented the keys of a brand new vehicle designed to assist the homeless throughout the Province of Valencia to members of the Red Cross. The presentation took place outside the Red Cross offices situated in Guardamar del Segura.
People attending the presentation included local dignitaries such as the Mayoress of Guardamar del Segura Carmen Verdú. Herrminia Palmar, Managing Director of Integration and Social Inclusion & Cooperation of Red Cross in Valencia. Alvaro Prieto, Territorial Director of Social Wellbeing within the Valencian Community. Antonio Navarro, Vice-President of Cruz Roja in Valencia. Adelaida Plaza, President of the Cruz Roja in Guardamar del Segura.
Norman Wheatley was assisted by the presence of the Deputy Provincial Grand Master of Valencia William Russell, the Assistant Grand Master of Valencia Rodney Bignell and Keith Alcock the Provincial Grand Charity Steward of Valencia.
The vehicle has been designed to assist the homeless people in the Province of Valencia and is fitted with four showers and equipment to help cover the basic sanitary and social necessities of the homeless in situ. (personal hygiene, alimentation and first auxiliaries)
There is no other vehicle of a similar type in the whole of Spain used by Cruz Roja and its specifications and use are completely unique. The vehicle has been financed completely by members of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Valencia.
The vehicle will start helping the homeless initially in the Guardamar and Torrevieja vicinities before extending further afield.
