A cheque for €3,000 was also presented to Jackie Codd, the President of Age Concern, a non-for-profit organisation which assists in the needs and interests of older people. The Calanova Cancer Care shop also partici-

At the end of last year, the shop was honoured with a plaque from the Association for Parents of Children with Cancer in the Balearic Islands (ASPANOB), presented by Jaime Coll, the President and Founder. Calanova Cancer Care praised the volunteers who have given up their time to help the charity. From February, all men’s and women’s clothes will be on sale with a 50 per cent discount.

The man was subsequently arrested and charged with gender violence, intimidation with violence, drug trafficking and a crime against public health. In response to the incident, the Guardia Civil have praised the response from residents and officers in the fight against gender violence.
