Franquet explains: “This support for social entities arises in response to the needs detected in particularly fragile groups such as single women with dependent children and migrants in a situation of social exclusion or at risk of being so”. In addition, he adds, “we collaborate with those associations that work to improve the employability of people with disabilities, to a degree equal to or greater than 33 percent, to achieve their full social inclusion.”
Franquet points out that each project can benefit from a maximum of between 15,000 and 25,000 euros of public funding, as established for each line, which may be used for training activities, advisory services for inclusion in the labor market, social and legal assistance, as well as guidance and support for the conciliation of personal, family and labor as a facilitating measure of insertion in the labor market.
In permanent contact
The CEO of Citizen Participation and Diversity, Nauzet Gugliotta, values for his part: “We work in permanent contact with social entities, we listen to their demands and we respond to the needs they pose.” He points out that “in the case of these subsidies, we have wanted to give additional support to some especially vulnerable groups that, given the circumstances, need special attention, as the associations that work with these people have transmitted to us.” The counselor adds that the term that entities have to carry out their projects is ample, so that they can make the best use of the financing they are going to receive. Hence runs between January 1, 2021 and June 3, 2022.
Among the expenses that can be made with these subsidies are those of personnel necessary to carry out the projects, expenses for the proper development of activities – materials, protective equipment, etc. -, travel costs and computer and communications tools, among others.
Step to the Transformative Economy
The first Transformative Economy Fair of Tenerife has been inaugurated in online format by the Minister of Sustainable Development and the fight against Climate Change, Javier Rodríguez Medina. This meeting has allowed to visualize the experiences of companies and entities of the third sector and of the social, collaborative and solidarity economy. Rodríguez Medina has reiterated “the commitment to the ecological transition and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), especially those related to actions in the area of water, waste, renewable energy and auditing the island’s electrical system.” It has also been a space for synergies and common projects.
