The project: “Cleaning of surfaces and furniture in buildings and premises” of Fundación Personas in Cuéllar has been selected by CaixaBank and Fundación Torreón de Lozoya in the call for ‘Social Action Grants 2024‘, whose objective is to promote local development and employment by supporting sectors of the population at risk of social exclusion and improving the quality of life of people with disabilities, the elderly and other socially vulnerable groups.
One more year the entity Fundación Personas in Cuéllar will launch a new training project for a total of 11 people with intellectual disabilities in the day-occupational center thanks to this economic collaboration with the Torreón de Lozoya Foundation and CaixaBank.
The objective of this project is to train a group of people with intellectual disabilities from the Ntra. Sra. de los Ángeles Center of Fundación Personas Cuéllar in the skills and abilities, as well as in the social and communicational values necessary to carry out the tasks and functions of this training, which will allow them in the short term to have a training-work, therapeutic and rehabilitative activity in their center.
The specific objectives of the program are:
- Perform cleaning of floors, walls and ceilings in buildings and premises.
- Clean the furniture located inside the spaces to be intervened.
- Cleaning of windows in buildings and premises.
- Perform cleaning and surface treatment in buildings and premises using machinery.
- To identify the main risks in the workplace and to promote protective behaviors and attitudes in terms of prevention in the sector, as well as to respond appropriately to emergency situations.
The project will start on June 1 and the expected completion date is November 1, 2024, and it is intended to be maintained over time. The theoretical training will be carried out in the Ntra. Sra. de los Ángeles Center and the practical training in the facilities and services of the Fundación Personas centers in Cuéllar.
The main objective of these trainings is to achieve the normalization, inclusion and improvement of the quality of life of people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, since the work favors their personal autonomy, their participation in the life of the community and to improve their level of self-esteem.
