Your membership makes a difference
The COVID-19 pandemic presented significant challenges for organisations such as The Anglo-Argentine Society. While we worked diligently to adapt by moving many of our fundraising activities online, the temporary reduction of our vibrant in-person fundraising activities during 2020 and 2021 inevitably had an impact.
With the UK now fully(no) recovering, yet facing new challenges, we are more determined than ever to continue our cultural work and raise vital funds for charities in Argentina.
Your membership continues to play a central role in this mission.
Every form of involvement in our charitable activities is highly valued—whether through donations, fundraising, volunteering, or helping to raise awareness.
We warmly encourage our members to contribute in ways that suit their schedules, fostering a truly engaging, community-focused network dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the world.
On behalf of everyone at The Anglo-Argentine Society, we sincerely thank you for your ongoing support and look forward to sharing our exciting calendar of fundraising events with you.

Red Comunidades Rurales
We are a social organization whose mission is to improve living conditions as well as create opportunities for rural inhabitants who are in critical states or in isolation. As a network, over 50,000 collaborators in Argentina and worldwide come together for this endeavor.
People who decide to unite to do extraordinary things.
Haciendo Camino
Since 2006, the non-profit civil association Haciendo Camino has been working towards the improvement of the life quality of socially vulnerable families in Argentina. Our programs are mainly aimed to: promote the growth and comprehensive development of children between 0 and 5 years of age; accompany, train and empower women and mothers since their pregnancy onwards; strengthen families and communities.
Enseñá por Argentina
ExA (Teach for Argentina in English) is related to the international charity Teach for All and believes that education is the way to build a fairer world. Its aim is to create a diverse movement of people committed to educate communities which are socio-economically vulnerable, so that through a collective leadership they get involved to reimagining education and make sure that each child and young person has access to an integral and qualitative education. This includes valuing their identity, empowering the development of their skills and generating opportunities to become an agent of transformation in their community. They use programmes that support schools, students and teachers.
The AAS will specifically support their programme Reimaginar el Aula (Reimagine the Classroom), which trains teachers in a context of new normality after COVID19.
REA generates a space for teachers to reflect, share and take action. It gives them theoretical and practical didactic tools to use in the classroom. It offers them alternatives for self-training and sustainable collective training through the organisation of learning communities between peers to face the challenges of their socio-economical context. Specific themes, which consider each region or locality’s needs, are provided in the syllabus making it coherent with local education public policy. They also take into account the students’ interests and consider technological innovation.
The workshops include 26 hours of teacher training online, plus 8 hours of field work in learning communities. It has reached so far 168 teachers and 14,529 students with a 100% response satisfaction when measuring its impact.
Asociación Cuerpo y Alma
Since 2005 this NGO works towards providing medical assistance and health education in vulnerable communities in the North of Argentina. Prevention, diagnostics and treatment of illnesses which account for the highest mortality rates are at the core of their efforts, including Chagas. They have paediatric, hypertension, dentistry, ophthalmology and cervical cancer programmes.
They mobilise diagnostic and surgery resources to these areas and carry out more than 14 thousand consultations and 600 surgeries a year, on site. Patients who need highly complex treatment are transported to Resistencia, Santiago del Estero or Buenos Aires.
A small group of professionals is stationed permanently in Charata.
Inglés Para Mi Futuro
The AAS’s partner organisation in Argentina is the ABCC (Argentine British Community Council/Consejo de la Comunidad Argentino Británica). We are proud to have supported “Inglés para mi futuro”, an ABCC venture in Rosario, in the province of Santa Fe. This after-school project was launched in 2018 to teach English to marginalised children. It is based in St Bartholomew’s Anglican Church Community Hall. The funds raised by the AAS have paid teachers’ salaries for four years for this very worthwhile venture, and help them to be visible to receive other contributions.
Cricket Sin Fronteras
Cricket Sin Fronteras is a social inclusion project launched in 2010 which teaches cricket to transform the lives of marginalised and vulnerable young boys and girls in Buenos Aires. It has now grown to include over 2000 young people whose lives are given meaning by learning this very British but also very international sport. The funds raised by the AAS have helped to pay for training and food, and the associated workshops run by the project: welding, carpentry, cookery, as well as mentoring and much more.
