The Esposende Chamber approved, in an executive meeting, a set of financial support totaling 590 thousand euros.

The largest portion, 250 thousand euros, will be channeled to the Social Center of the Parish of Curvos, to help pay for construction work on a Residential Structure for the Elderly (ERPI), a project financed under the PARES program.

In response to the request for support from Forjães Sport Club, the Municipality decided to allocate 122 thousand euros to cover the costs associated with the interventions planned at the Horácio de Queirós Stadium, namely the execution of a synthetic lawn in an already existing enclosure, new fence walls, lighting and requalification of interior spaces, particularly changing rooms

For volunteer firefighters, there are two subsidies: one for the Esposende Humanitarian Association, of 50 thousand euros, to share the costs of purchasing personal protective equipment, a generator and the adaptation of a company vehicle; another, worth 40 thousand euros, to the Benemérita Associação Humanitária de Fão, to support the acquisition of an urban fire-fighting vehicle.

The requalification of the headquarters of the Antas Parish Council will also be carried out through municipal support of almost 76 thousand euros.

The total value of 17.5 thousand euros will be transferred to the Junta da União de Freguesias de Esposende, Marinhas and Gandra for various purposes, namely improvements to the Gandra Football Field, for the repair of a service vehicle, for the acquisition of a new brush cutter and to support the Carnival Parade/2024.

Support of 4 thousand euros was also approved for the Parish Union of Fonte Boa and Rio Tinto to carry out the repair and maintenance of service vehicles.

On a cultural level, the City Council maintained its partnership with the Orquestra da Costa Atlântica, a group that has been performing concerts and educational activities in several parishes in the municipality, with the Municipality approving the granting of support of 20 thousand euros.

Finally, an amount of 10 thousand euros was approved for the celebration program for the 50th anniversary of the 813-Marinhas Scout Group.
