Alicia Esteban, from the Intergenerational Solidarity Association, indicated that her group “is a non-profit association whose purpose is to provide social services to the elderly in rural areas.”
“We work so that the principle of equality is fulfilled and all people have the same rights and services, whether we live in the city or in the country.”
“Information regarding social services is provided in a single digital space, including financial aid, benefits and services from public administrations.”
“It also has a map of social and health resources throughout the autonomous region, social service centres, health centres, pharmacies and associations.”
