The contribution given to l’Aurora Grup de Suport, dedicated to supporting humanitarian rescue ships in the Mediterranean, will be distributed between two projects. On the one hand, the deployment of the entity in Sicily to replicate there the entire system of logistics and support to humanitarian rescue ships of migrants in the Mediterranean that has been carried out in the last five years in Valencian ports. On the other hand, the entity will be able to go a step further in the Eulàlia Rescue RHIB project in Borriana, “to make a training center to have a team of between 10 and 20 people ready to operate in the rescue boats of the different ships.

COCEMFE Castelló, with more than 30 years of experience in adapted transport, which currently serves Castelló, Almassora, Vilafamés and Borriana, will use the funds raised thanks to the Rototom Sunsplash donations to purchase an adapted van to cover the “door to door and fully customized” trips of people with disabilities and reduced mobility who live in towns farther away from the capital to facilitate daily tasks such as attending their jobs, medical appointments, day centers or leisure spaces.

The collaboration of Rototom Sunsplash with AFA Castelló will allow the acquisition of a van adapted to move from their homes and to the Day Center La Pineda de Castelló to the users. Facilitating physical access to this resource is a key to democratizing the service, favoring the reconciliation of families and optimizing the therapies performed at the center.

The funds obtained through the collaboration of Rototom Sunsplash and the Valencian delegation of ANAR will go to the program ‘Phone/Chat ANAR to help children and adolescents at risk in the Valencian Community’. The objective is to provide children and adolescents with a safe and confidential space where they feel listened to and respected, and where they can freely express what is happening to them in order to find alternatives to their problems together.

Our 2023 solidarity campaign channelled through the reusable cup system has raised 18,900 euros, destined for L’Aurora Grup de Suport de Burriana (Castellón de la Plana), an organisation that has been cooperating for more than three years with NGOs that rescue lives in the Mediterranean. The money raised will go to two projects: the Eulàlia-Rescue Rhib training boat and L’Aurora-Sicily, which will replicate the NGO’s work in Italian ports.

In the 28th edition of Rototom Sunsplash we have once again given our support to the Banco de alimentos de Castellón, through collaboration with the M21 Foundation. His team has been in charge of spreading the word about the project among the public and facilitating the collaboration channels through the totems installed in the venue. Thanks to this system, the public was able to make their own direct donation to the organisation. An initiative that has been completed by allocating part of the proceeds from the festival’s system of reusable cups, in collaboration with L’Aurora Grup de Suport de Burriana (Castellón de la Plana).

We have renewed our collaboration with the Banco de Alimentos de Castellón through the organisation FoodRation4All and its project ‘Nadie sin su ración diaria’ (No one without their daily ration).‘. The public was able to make their contributions through two fixed totems in the concert venue and the campsite, and a third mobile one. By means of a QR code, attendees were able to find out about the campaign and make a donation via POS, while also seeing the symbolic value of the donation.

Through the sale of works from the Social Art Gallery, we raised 800€ to be donated to the Grup de Suport L’Aurora de Burriana (Castellón), an organization dedicated to cooperation with NGOs that rescue lives in the Mediterranean.

Thanks to our community we have raised €6,014 through the reusable cup system. The money has been donated to the Conquistando Escalones Association (ACE) – founded by people affected by 1F-D2 Limb-girdle Muscular Dystrophy, caused by a mutation that makes them immune to HIV – together with CASDA (Citizens’ Association against AIDS in Castelló).

We supported both financially and in terms of dissemination the Mediterranean Sup Action initiative, Enrico Grossi’s crossing of the entire coast of the Valencian Community in paddle surf ing – more than 400 km – in 10 days. The objective was to raise awareness about the attention and care that we must pay to the sea, raising funds for the non-profit association BIOagradables of Valencia, which organizes awareness and environmental education activities in schools in the Valencian Community.

In the middle of the social and health crisis, we delivered a thousand FFP2 masks and 500 visors to the NGO Accem in Castelló, thanks to the donation of our friends from Glamping. Accem works to improve the quality of life of refugees, migrants and more vulnerable groups.

In 2019 we also support the Asociación Líbero of Malaga who care for the seed bank, donated by Semillas Madre Tierra in 2015 to Rototom. They along with members of the Southeast Permaculture Network take care of and reproduce this seed collection so that it continues to expand every year.
