Equine Therapy program for children with ASD in Baix Llobregat
With ISTEA Association

For the fourth consecutive year we finance this project together with the Istea Association, created and endorsed by a group of psychologists specializing in ASD who work voluntarily with them. Our work consists of supporting the demand of families with children with ASD, promoting knowledge and participation. This program takes place during the 2023-2024 school year with 1.020 equine therapy sessions with recreational activities that allow the integration of children, in order to provide them with tools that allow positive development. This year, 60 children between 3 and 14 years old who suffer from autism spectrum disorder have enrolled in this program. Many of the families with young people affected by this type of disorder are in a precarious situation and without sufficient resources to be able to offer them special education.

Providing food for the solidarity economato in Barcelona
With Roure Foundation

The Roure Foundation is an entity rooted in the old town of Barcelona, ​​which serves the basic needs of older people and families. It provides comprehensive personalized attention to each member, so that they can be autonomous. Social Services is still unable to supply the required food donations due to the number of families in precarious situations, whether single-parent, families with both spouses unemployed or without work. During 2023 we have supported this program for the sixth time by purchasing dairy products, thus ensuring the continuity of the Solidarity Commissary to benefit 418 children between 0 and 16 years old.

Social care of children from single-mother families in Barcelona
With Teresa Gallifa Foundation

The Teresa Gallifa Foundation works for the social inclusion of pregnant women and single-parent families, so that these mothers can enjoy motherhood with the support they need. Some women come from situations of violence and require comprehensive support, both legal and emotional advice, and cannot bear the costs of basic goods such as diapers, clothing or milk. For the fourth consecutive year we collaborate on this project where the basic needs of 87 children under 6 years of age in extreme vulnerable situations will be covered. The aid consists of infant milk, cereals and baby food, diapers, hygiene products, and vaccines not included in Social Security but recommended by the Spanish Paediatric Association.
