Founding and Community Spirit

The history of the Social and Cultural Center of Verdelhos is a remarkable example of its community's spirit of solidarity. Its creation largely resulted from generous donations from the population, a direct testament to Verdelhos' commitment and collective will to support its social needs. This local initiative was complemented by the collaboration of the Covilhã Municipal Council and, subsequently, by the cooperation of Social Security, consolidating a project born from the grassroots and reflecting a shared commitment to the well-being of its inhabitants.

A Symbol of Care and Cohesion

For those visiting Verdelhos, the Social and Cultural Center embodies an important facet of local culture: the valuing and care for older generations, as well as the strengthening of community ties. Although its primary function is social, the institution symbolizes the values of participation, respect, and proximity that are pillars of the parish's social cohesion.
