Spain: Supporting the social reintegration of vulnerable people
People who suffer from a risk of poverty, severe material deprivation, low employment intensity or face the impossibility to exercise some of their rights encounter difficulties in being fully integrated in the society where they live.
In the city of Valencia, we enable a group of Givaudan volunteers to bring support to an association dedicated to provide all kind of services such as emergency food, shelters or medical and social assistance to such a population. At the end of 2021, they have joined forces to prepare food kits that were distributed to people benefitting from the help of the association.
More recently, Givaudan volunteers have used their time to introduce the project's participants to the benefits of nature on mental wellbeing by taking them on a small trip in a local Natural Park. For most of the participants, it was their first time living such experience which was described by them as rewarding and calming.
