Acreditar
Acreditar – Association of Parents and Friends of Children with Cancer has been around for 30 years to accompany families from diagnosis onwards, offering emotional, logistical and social support. We work to ensure that no parent or child faces the disease alone. We provide free accommodation near hospitals, psychological support, mutual aid among families, and the defence of the rights of paediatric cancer patients.
Your collaboration through Montra Solidária will allow more people to learn about this mission and, by purchasing our products, contribute to our ability to continue to stand by those who fight every day.
 

Aldeias SOS Crianças
By offering solidarity gifts from SOS Children's Villages, you are helping protect vulnerable children and young people. This year, offer a new opportunity for life, love, respect and safety to the more than 500 children and young people we support. 

Animais de Rua
This Christmas, the greatest gift you can give is the opportunity to change an animal's life. 
Every day, Animais de Rua supports stray animals by providing them with food, veterinary care, and sterilisation, seeking to make a difference in their lives and in the community around them.
By purchasing solidarity gifts, such as Christmas Packs and the 2026 Solidarity Diary (with real stories), or sponsoring sterilisation or other products from the online store, you are making a real impact on the lives of these animals.
Every gesture counts. Thank you for making this work possible.
 

Associação CAIS
CAIS promotes the social integration of people in situations of poverty and/or social exclusion through training methodologies that help them enter or return to the labour market, enabling them to regain their self-esteem, skills, and rightful place in society. The CAIS Association promotes the Professional Training Programme (CAHO), which trains and integrates people into the workplace. The CAIS Recicla creative workshop, included in CAHO, develops social eco-design products using waste materials donated by various companies. 

Instituto de Apoio à Criança
This Christmas, give gifts with meaning. Each charity product from the Child Support Institute says it will ensure a safe, happy childhood full of opportunities. By choosing a charity gift, you are supporting the IAC's work with children, young people and families. These are gifts that inspire hope and really make a difference. Join us and support Children's Rights!

Make-A-Wish 
"At Make-A-Wish's Charity Shop Window, every charity gift has a purpose: to help fulfil the wishes of seriously ill children and young people. This Christmas, help us bring strength, joy and hope to those who need it most."

Operação Nariz Vermelho
This year, Operation Red Nose brings a gift that promises to elicit laughter, creative doodles, and perhaps even some fun confusion at the Christmas Eve dinner table! Perfect for Secret Santa, to give to that aunt who already has everything, or even to spoil someone special.

Pedalar sem Idade
When you buy from the PSI Portugal charity shop, you are helping us bring more outings, smiles and moments of connection to the senior citizens we support. Each product directly supports our mission to combat isolation through trishaw rides and experiences that celebrate life. This Christmas, turn your gift into a gesture that changes days - and changes lives.
THE PERFECT GIFT JUST A CLICK AWAY
The recipient can use it to go for a ride wherever they want.
The giver helps reduce social isolation among people with limited mobility.
Can you think of a better gift than the right to feel the wind in your hair?

Semear (Mercearia e Cerâmica)
Giving SEMEAR gifts is practising inclusion.
When you buy SEMEAR, you are not only choosing quality: you are practising inclusion - transforming your gesture into real employment for people with intellectual disabilities.

SOS Animal
“By choosing a gift from the SOS Animal charity shop, you will be supporting veterinary care, rescues and projects that will change the lives of many animals over the coming year — a simple gesture that means a future, protection and hope.”

Terra dos Sonhos
This Christmas, by supporting Terra dos Sonhos, a family with a sick child can dream again... A young person in foster care can look to their professional future and smile... An adult with cancer will be accompanied and feel supported... We are all counting on you! A Merry Christmas full of dreams.

WWF- World Wide Fund for Nature
WWF offers the best Christmas gift: protecting our home, for a future where people live in harmony with nature! Offer a symbolic adoption and dedicate your donation to someone special! The certificate demonstrates support for projects in the field and inspires everyone to want to make a difference too!

Associação Salvador
Christmas is coming, and with it, the desire to surprise and give a little treat to our loved ones.
As is now tradition, our Christmas Catalogue has a selection of solidarity products that make this season even more special. From our Perfect Stars to the "Fragile, contains dreams" notepad, each choice has an impact: as well as being a beautiful gesture for those who receive them, they contribute directly to improving the autonomy and opportunities of people with motor disabilities.

Casas Acreditar opens its doors to more than 200 families of children and young people with cancer every year, who have to leave their homes to undergo treatment in Porto, Coimbra or Lisbon. If these houses did not exist, many families would be subject to frequent, long journeys, unnecessary hospital admissions, or staying in precarious conditions.

Located next to hospitals, the Casas Acreditar offer accommodation, helping families reorganise and normalise their daily lives. They are organised so that families can, in the face of their new reality, structure their lives as harmoniously as possible.

The possibility of a more normal life is crucial to help them cope with long absences from home and to promote a spirit of mutual help and emotional support among the various families in the Houses.

That is why this year's Christmas campaign slogan is ‘Help us continue to be a Home’. At this time of year, your donation is the best gift.

Violence takes many forms. Silence cannot be one of them.

Violence is not always visible - but it can be felt in fear, silence, and isolation.
This SEIES campaign, supported by CP, reminds us that violence is not only visible marks, but also gestures, words, and silences.
For over 45 years, SEIES has been working for equality and against all forms of violence.
CP strongly believes that public spaces should be places of safety, empathy, and social responsibility.
Because violence cannot continue to travel with us - not in our homes, not on the streets, not on the rails. And because silence can never be the answer.
Need help? You are not alone.

The gift that can change millions of lives in Chad.

1 gift, 2 million futures.

This is the gift that multiplies gifts - that changes lives, that gives more future.
Chad is home to more than 2 million refugees and displaced people - 1 in 3 inhabitants in the east of the country is a refugee.
Among them are thousands of women and children.
But only 20% of children are in school.

  • A family survives with only 10 liters of water per day.
  • There is only 1 doctor for every 52,000 refugees.
  • And only 30% of the needs for 2025 are funded.

Without help, thousands are left without access to shelter, water, food, health, education and protection.

CP is a partner of SANGFER - the Railway Blood Donor Group, supporting this association and publicizing its monthly blood drive actions extended to the general community.

We will announce the next date and location of the drive in due course.

Donate blood, a drop of life.

CP is joining the Family Fostering Campaign, raising awareness of the importance of providing children and young people with a safe family environment. As part of its Social Responsibility, CP is publicising this initiative through videos on its Alfa Pendular trains, posters on trains, the institutional website and internal communication.

This initiative, promoted by the Ministry of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security in partnership with the three managing bodies of the foster care system - the Social Security Institute, Casa Pia de Lisboa and Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa, aims to raise awareness and inform society and attract potential candidates for foster families, strengthening this support network for children and young people who need a safe and structured family environment.

Foster care is a promotion and protection measure decided by a Child and Youth Protection Commission or a court, in which children and young people in danger are temporarily entrusted to a duly certified foster family, where they can integrate into a family environment, essential to their development and well-being.

Foster care is more than a social response; it is a commitment of love and solidarity made by foster families, who become an essential support in promoting the rights and protection of these children and young people, complementing state intervention.

International experience reinforces the need for ongoing campaigns that raise public awareness of foster care, ensuring that the number of families available to foster children is renewed and expanded. The current national campaign is therefore a concerted action, involving various institutions to reach both the general public and specific target audiences. It aims to promote a more comprehensive and effective foster care network.

Portugal needs foster families.

These children need you.

Support Animais de Rua

CP - Comboios de Portugal is committed to its Social Responsibility by actively supporting the animal cause. We believe that the protection and welfare of animals are essential for a fairer and more sustainable society.
CP supports initiatives that promote responsible adoption, combat animals being abandonned and raise awareness of animal rights.
We invite everyone to join this campaign by Animais de Rua.

Animais de Rua is a non-profit association set up in 2008 to improve the living conditions of homeless animals through sterilisation, monitoring and medical treatment, feeding and promoting the responsible adoption of docile animals.

At the same time, they run an adoption programme for docile animals that are waiting for their final families while they live in Temporary Foster Homes; they raise awareness among children and young people through an Educational Programme; they run information campaigns, awareness-raising actions and provide training in the area of animal welfare.
So far, Animais de Rua has helped more than 58,000 animals and is counting on your help to increase this number.
