Multipurpose Centre

It is with great pleasure that we announce that on January 21, 2026, we achieved another historic milestone: the inauguration of our own multi-purpose center in Maspalomas. This facility includes a clinical unit from which we continue our mission of providing free sexual health screenings to residents and visitors from across the island. Assisted by the Director of the Gran Canaria Health Area, Ms. Lidia Mejias, we were joined by approximately 45 people to witness this achievement. It is the culmination of nearly three years of work by our members and volunteers, supported by an incredible base of supporters.

Jason Harrod – In Memoriam

The association would like to publicly acknowledge the support shown to us by the late Jason Harrod.

He gave his time free of charge for graphic design work seen in our website, clothing, posters and other materials.

We remain in his debt and would like to thank his friends for the kind donation made to us in his memory.

RIP Jason.
