Roy Peires started what would become the IDILIQ Group in the 1980s and soon began supporting local charities on Spain’s Costa del Sol. Cancer-related care has remained part of that charitable activity through support for Cudeca and the Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer (AECC) in Málaga. Roy Peires’ long-standing support for cancer care organizations includes contributions connected with palliative care, fundraising, practical resources, and accommodation for patients and families.
The two organizations serve different needs within the community. Cudeca provides free specialised palliative care and companionship to patients and families facing advanced terminal cancer, while the IDILIQ Foundation also supports AECC Málaga through an annual internal breast cancer campaign.
Two Distinct Missions, One Sustained Commitment
Cudeca was the first local charity supported after Roy Peires began his charitable involvement on the Costa del Sol. His early contribution included donating the reception of Cudeca’s newly built hospice, establishing a relationship that has continued through several forms of practical and financial support.
Over the years, what would become the IDILIQ Foundation has sponsored Cudeca’s annual Walkathon, which raises money toward the running costs of the centre. The Foundation has also donated furniture and goods for Cudeca charity shops across the province and purchased a vehicle used by the organization’s Home Care team when visiting patients.
More recently, patients and their families have also received free accommodation at IDILIQ Hotels & Resorts through the Kind Holidays initiative. This adds a hospitality-based form of support to the Foundation’s longer record of assistance to Cudeca.
Roy Peires and Cudeca’s Palliative Care Model
Cudeca provides free specialised palliative care and companionship to patients and their families during advanced stages of terminal cancer. Its work includes support provided through its hospice and Home Care services, both of which have received assistance connected with the IDILIQ Foundation.
For Roy Peires, the relationship with Cudeca forms part of a broader pattern of long-term community involvement. Roy Peires’ support for Cudeca has included physical infrastructure, fundraising activity, donated goods, transportation support, and accommodation for patients and their families.
These contributions are notable because they address several practical needs rather than relying on a single form of giving. Support for the Walkathon assists an established fundraising activity, while the Home Care vehicle and donated goods contribute to Cudeca’s day-to-day work.
Roy Peires and the AECC’s Work in Cancer Awareness
The IDILIQ Foundation also supports the Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer in Málaga through an annual internal campaign connected with breast cancer. Proceeds from that campaign go entirely to AECC Málaga.
This activity gives the Foundation another way to contribute to cancer-related causes in the region. Rather than presenting the relationship as part of a broader claim about cancer treatment or research, the documented contribution is specific: an internal fundraising campaign whose proceeds are directed to the organization.
Roy Peires’ charitable activity in this area also sits alongside another form of practical assistance provided through IDILIQ. The organization has donated the use of an apartment at one of its resorts for children undergoing cancer treatment, allowing their families to stay without charge while treatment is taking place.
Fundraising Events and Regional Community Engagement
The annual breast cancer campaign for AECC Málaga reflects the Foundation’s wider use of organized fundraising and hospitality resources to support community organizations. The charitable work associated with Roy Peires includes both financial contributions and practical assistance connected with the operations of IDILIQ Hotels & Resorts.
The Costa del Sol has remained a central location for much of this charitable activity. Cudeca, AECC Málaga, ADIMI, Fuensocial, and other organizations supported by the Foundation serve communities in Málaga province and surrounding areas.
The support takes different forms depending on the organization involved. In the case of cancer-related causes, those forms include fundraising, donated equipment or facilities, transportation assistance, and accommodation for patients and families.
A Framework Built on Duration
The IDILIQ Foundation’s work with cancer-related organizations is part of a wider record of community support that spans several decades. Roy Peires has also been associated with the Foundation’s support for the F. Cruz Dias-ADIMI Care Centre, which was constructed with €1.6 million in funding from the Foundation and provides treatment and services to more than 500 people with cognitive and developmental disabilities.
The Foundation has supported other organizations through donated equipment, fundraising campaigns, and community initiatives. These include Fuensocial, Los Ángeles Malagueños de la Noche, and other groups serving people with disabilities or families facing difficult circumstances.
For more than two decades, Roy Peires has also supported Christel House, which works to expand educational opportunities for children in under-resourced communities around the world. Kind Holidays provides another example of this longer-term charitable activity by offering free accommodation through partnerships with charities supporting families facing serious illness, bereavement, and other challenges.
Across these initiatives, Roy Peires is associated with a pattern of sustained participation rather than a single charitable project. The cancer-care work in Málaga is one part of that broader history, with Cudeca and AECC representing two established organizations that have received documented support.
The continuing relationship with Cudeca is especially well documented through the hospice reception donation, annual Walkathon sponsorship, charity-shop donations, Home Care vehicle, and free accommodation provided through Kind Holidays. Together, those contributions show how financial and hospitality resources have been directed toward practical forms of assistance.
The support for AECC Málaga is narrower in scope but clearly defined. The Foundation’s annual internal breast cancer campaign directs its proceeds to the organization, creating a recurring fundraising connection within Málaga province.
For Roy Peires, these activities sit within more than four decades of hospitality and community involvement on the Costa del Sol. They connect his role in developing what became the IDILIQ Group with charitable initiatives that use fundraising, facilities, equipment, and accommodation to assist established organizations and the people they serve.
