The end

The Skopelos Nautical Club announces that the campaign SKOPELOS NEEDS U is heading towards the end.
So far more than 20.900€ has been gathered. Tonight, Friday, February 12th, we have planned to award checks to 18 affected entrepreneurs who suffered huge losses.

The Nautical Club put a stone in the reconstruction of Skopelos through "Skopelos Needs U"

 

Great response of the Skopelos friends at the call of  the Nautical Club through the campaign “Skopelos Needs U” at the social media for assistance to the victims of the great disaster of September.

Friends of the club and of Skopelos, Greek and foreign, the producers of “mamma mia” and numerous  other supporters of the island helped us to gather today the amount of 19230.90 euros.

On Friday  the 4th of December  at 18.00 everyone was invited at the Municipal Cafe of Skopelos to attend a small ceremony where vouchers were given to those affected by the flood.
Beneficiaries were selected according to the list of affected for the first residence as shaped by the Municipality of Skopelos and the Fire Service.

After contacting each of the beneficiaries the Club registered the needs to be covered with the first € 10.000 € as it was set from the beginning of our fundraising campaign.
Then we requested offers from all shops of Skopelos, in order to support local businesses and the most advantageous was selected. More than 25 appliances (washing machines, refrigerators, cookers, etc.) were purchased  in order to alleviate even a little those who suffered major damage through the flood. The Board the Nautical Club of Skopelos and the members hope that this symbolic move will be followed by other campaigns for local and state compensation, which we hope to offer substantial relief to those who have suffered major disasters.

Our campaign will continue until Christmas with an ideal target to gather other 10.769.10 € in order to be given to businesses which suffered incalculable losses and thus contributing to their relief.

Skopelos Needs U!

Skopelos Needs U! 

One week after the disastrous storm that hit the island on the night of September 22nd 2015 , basic island infrastructures and many local businesses have been destroyed.  A high number of our fellow citizens have sustained, big or incalculable damage to their properties.

An intensive effort to restore the island has recently begun. Unfortunately the forces of the Municipality and the State are limited due to the difficult economic situation we are experiencing but also the burocracy.

The Sailing Club of Skopelos together with friends of the island, are taking the initiative to contribute substantially to bring the island back to its original state.

For many years Skopelos has generously offered us its beauty but now the island needs every one  of us to give something back.

Please donate any amount you can to make the island even more beautiful than before. Money will be allocated as follows:

• > 10.000 euro raised will be distributed to poor families that have been seriously damaged
• from 10,000 to 30,000 euros will be allocated to affected businesses which were badly damaged.
• <30.000 euros will be allocated to public projects or public buildings damaged.

Let's make Skopelos, even more beautiful than the one we knew before this natural disaster.

NIKOS is a legitimate sports (non-profit) organization with active participation in the social life of the island. Through the page skopelosneedsu.blogspot.com, which will be updated every three days, you will be kept fully informed of the amounts raised and how the money will be spent.
