On 11 May 2010 ADEC reached a milestone in it’s history.  Permission was granted by the Junta De Andalucia for the registration of Asociation de Ayuda a Enfermos de Cancer en Sus Casas ADEC Della Porta (ADEC). Permission is granted for ADEC to operate in the San Roque area of Andalucia, in the province of Cadiz to provide palliative care for cancer sufferers in their home. 

This is a much needed facility in this area and the granting of this registration will enable ADEC to raise funds to be able to begin helping those in need – regardless of nationality and social standing.  It has been a long and sometimes difficult journey but now ADEC can proceed in earnest to complete what it set out to do.  Together with businesses and individuals in the community ADEC can raise awareness and much needed funds.

Founder, Rachel Meadows, stated that it is a dream come true. ADEC was created in memory of Rachel's parents (Della Porta), who died of cancer in Spain. It was at that time that Rachel discovered the need for palliative care in the area.

For further details on ADEC, how to make donations or to offer support and assistance please call Luciana O'Brien on 956 695 743 (English speaking) or Eli Iglesias on 659 562 567 (Spanish speaking).

The ADEC team remains committed to forging ahead to make a difference in the community.

ADEC is now registered charity number 9342 in the Junta de Andalucia.
