This summer, work began on the residence that AMPANS is building in the Sant Llorenç neighbourhood in Terrassa to meet the residential and day care needs of people with intellectual disabilities who need 24-hour support.
The Terrassa project arises from a historical demand of the families of this municipality of Vallès Occidental who have to take their children and relatives out of the city, many of whom are being cared for by the AMPANS foundation.
The residence will have a capacity for 60 people and has been designed in cohabitation units of six people, similar to a house with single rooms with bathroom, as well as common spaces such as the dining room or the terrace. It will also offer a day care service with a capacity for 30 people. The project has common spaces to promote socialisation and the relationship with the environment, as well as the well-being of the people who will live in it.
“Too many families have had to take their relatives out of Terrassa and its region, having to go and live abroad because there is no place in your city for your sons and daughters, to which they are entitled.”
Carles Godall
Coordinadora Capaç
"We have taken up the challenge but we do so spurred on by the families who have been the real driving force behind this project."
Lluís Sánchez Seuba
President de la Fundació AMPANS
The social architecture project is designed according to parameters of sustainability and energy efficiency, and in the social perspective, with a model of care focused on the person, their quality of life and positive behavioural support. It is also committed to the inclusion of technology in the building to help promote the personal autonomy of the people who will live in it, in line with the residential projects being carried out by the organisation.
It is estimated that the start-up of this residence will lead to the creation of 52 specialised and qualified jobs.
During the symbolic act of beginning of works, the president of AMPANS, Lluís Sánchez, reminded that there are many people with intellectual disabilities who are waiting for a place to access to an assistance service, which causes that many people cannot be attended in their municipalities. For his part, Carles Godall, representing the coordinator of families Capaç, reminded that the residence is the result of the perseverance of the families who have been claiming for the residential service for years.
We can’t do it alone, will you help us to make it possible?
You will be able to deduct 80% of the first €250 you contribute and, from that amount, 40%. In addition, if for 3 consecutive years you have contributed to making full inclusion a reality, through your donations to the AMPANS Foundation, and always with the same amount, or more, your tax relief in this last bracket will increase to 45%.
As a company you will be able to deduct 40% of the contribution you have made to the AMPANS Foundation from your corporation tax. If the contribution as a company has been constant during the last three fiscal years with an amount always equal or higher, you will be able to deduct from the Corporate Tax 50% of the contribution. The deduction limit will be 10% of the taxable base.
Your contributions allow us to open new homes and support spaces for people with disabilities or vulnerabilities.
Being socially responsible by engaging in full inclusion not only has a positive impact on society, but also on the organisation itself. The benefits between the company and its stakeholders are mutual.
Companies area:Attracting and retaining the best talent and strengthening the commitment and sense of relevance of teams.
Customers area:Greater capacity to attract and retain customers. Greater credibility and recognition.
Business area:Tax relief and tax credits. Differentiation of competitive companies thanks to your social commitment. Direct and tangible social impact. Brand value, generated by the direct social impact generated as a result of the link with AMPANS.
In addition, these partnerships are part of the companies' commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), published by the UN within the 2030 Agenda. Especially with SDG 3 (health and well-being), SDG 4 (quality education), SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth), SDG 10 (reducing inequalities) and SDG 17 (partnerships to achieve the goals). Social responsibility linked to full inclusion is not just for big business. SMEs also have a key transformative role in the territory where they operate.
At the beginning of the year, we inform the tax authorities of all the donations we have received during the previous year and additionally, coinciding with the income tax campaign, we send all our collaborators the Tax Certificate that accredits their contribution.
