On July 1, the boards of directors of the associations promoting Fundación Personas met in Zamora.
The conference was inaugurated by Isabel Blanco, Councilor for Family and Equal Opportunities, who stressed the commitment of the Junta de Castilla y León to the dependency sector and to the life projects of the most vulnerable people in society.
The quality of family life was discussed with Cristina Jenaro, professor at the University of Salamanca, and the follow-up of the 2024 Action Plan was presented, with which the Foundation faces challenges and opportunities linked to regulatory changes, the growing digitalization and modernization of services, the role of innovation as a differential factor and the emerging needs in our environment, all commented by the new general director of Fundación Personas, Daniel Clavero, accompanied by the management committee.
About Fundación Personas
Fundación Personas was created in 2008 by five associations in Castilla y León: ADECAS Guardo, ASPANIS Palencia, APADEFIM Segovia, ASPRONA Valladolid and ASPROSUB Zamora. Our mission is to improve the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities and their families. To do this we provide comprehensive services, in the environment and covering all stages of the life cycle of a person. The founding associations belong to the family movement Plena Inclusion movement and bring 60 years of experience, share innovation and foster mutual collaboration.
With a regional presence, we are present in 30 towns in Castilla y León, urban centers and rural areas, where we attend to situations of disability or dependence and provide support for the promotion of personal autonomy. We also offer support and training to people at risk of social exclusion. Our activity is governed by criteria of quality and proximity in care; efficiency and transparency in management; equal opportunities, accessibility and respect for diversity as a driver of social transformation.
In the educational-care area, we manage 5,300 places daily in 75 centers, distributed in more than 30 locations in Valladolid, Palencia, Segovia and Zamora. In the labor area, Fundación Personas has 3 Special Employment Centers (CEE) Lince Group S.L.U., APADEFIM 2000 S.L.U.. and CEE Fundación Personas – with a workforce of 939 employees, more than 90% of whom have some type of disability.
