The president of the Diputación de A Coruña, Valentín González Formoso, and the president of ASPACE Coruña, María Carmen Barreiro Santos, signed a collaboration agreement today to extend the main entrance canopy of the care facility that the entity has in the parish of Osedo, in Sada. The Diputación will contribute €87,688.88, representing 72.85% of the works' budget, which amounts to €120,373.07. The event was also attended by the Deputy for Social Policy, Mar García Vidal, and the manager of ASPACE, Ricardo Iglesias Sanmartín.
The current canopy is too narrow for the buses that transport users daily between their homes and the center to park under cover. On days of heavy rain, this limitation particularly hinders the entry and exit of wheelchair users.
The project will extend the covered entrance area by more than 215 square meters. The new space will accommodate buses up to 15 meters long and provide space around the vehicles for users and support staff to move under cover upon arrival at the center and when returning home.
During the meeting, Valentín González Formoso and Carmen Barreiro Santos also discussed the activities ASPACE Coruña is preparing to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2027. Founded in 1977, the association was a pioneer in Galicia in the care of people with cerebral palsy and operates a day center, an educational center, and two residences in Osedo.
