Location

The Remelhe Social Centre is located in the parish that gives it its name, Remelhe, in the municipality of Barcelos. Its location on Rua da Calçada positions it as an integral part of the locality's urban and community fabric. Its presence is set within the serene and typically Minho environment of the parish, allowing passers-by to observe local life and its institutions.

A Community Pillar

Founded as an association in November 2005, the Remelhe Social Centre began its operations as a Private Institution of Social Solidarity (IPSS) in December of the following year. Its genesis resulted from the perception of a local need, with the primary objective of offering support and responses to various social needs. The institution thus assumes an important role in improving the quality of life for the inhabitants of Remelhe and neighbouring parishes, serving as an example of the vitality and social cohesion present in the municipality of Barcelos.

The Homage in the Name

Formally known as Remelhe Social Centre, D. António Barroso, the institution honours, through its full designation, the memory of a figure whose legacy is associated with service and dedication to the community. This additional name underscores the centre's connection to local roots and history, reinforcing its service character and its commitment to the values of solidarity that have governed it since its foundation.
