The Girona-based entity Grupo Mifas will contribute its expertise in the field of physical disability as a new member of the iSocial Foundation

The iSocial Foundation continues to expand its network of entities committed to social innovation with the incorporation of Grup Mifas, a leading organization in the Girona region in the care and defense of the rights of people with physical disabilities and at risk of social exclusion.

Founded in 1979 in Girona, Mifas works to promote economic independence and social justice for people with disabilities and those at risk of exclusion. The group is made up of three legal entities: the Mifas Association, which serves as a space for participation and offers support services and leisure activities; the Mifas Foundation, focused on care services; and Mifascet, a special employment center that provides services across various professional sectors.

With a team of 401 professionals, 60% of whom are people with disabilities, Grup Mifas carries out a wide range of initiatives: from job placement, residential care, and day centers, to services and programs such as INVICTES, the SIRIUS Center for Personal Autonomy, a support product bank and occupational therapy, psychological care services, and various activities promoting inclusive leisure and sports, among many others.

With this new addition, the iSocial Foundation strengthens its commitment to diversity and inclusion, welcoming an organization with a solid track record and a transformative vision of physical disability.
