The micro-donations collected during April through the Céntimos Solidarios campaign, “Together Against Unwanted Loneliness,” will help sustain the community-based activities of the Vincles project, led by the iSocial Foundation in Alt Pirineu and Aran in collaboration with the region’s social services.

Throughout April, the Vincles Alt Pirineu-Aran project, promoted by the iSocial Foundation, was one of two beneficiary projects of the Céntimos Solidarios fundraising campaign, run by Caprabo and WorldCoo. This month’s campaign was carried out under the slogan “Together Against Unwanted Loneliness.” Thanks to contributions from Caprabo customers, the campaign raised €13,880.50, half of which (€6,940) will be used to strengthen the community work of the Vincles project in municipalities across Alt Pirineu and Aran.

This initiative is part of a shared commitment to addressing unwanted loneliness among older people—a reality that is especially prevalent in low-density and geographically dispersed areas such as mountain regions.

A community project to ensure a full life in rural areas

Vincles Alt Pirineu-Aran is a preventive, community-based initiative aimed at identifying, preventing, and reducing situations of unwanted loneliness among older people, while promoting active, safe aging rooted in the local area. The project is implemented in collaboration with local social services and with the involvement of the broader community, based on the belief that tackling loneliness is a collective responsibility.

Vincles activities combine several key approaches:

• Community activation, through group activities and meeting spaces that promote social connections, mutual support, and a sense of belonging.
• Collaboration with social services and local stakeholders, to identify at-risk situations and deliver coordinated responses.
• Innovation and technological support, including the development of tools that help proactively detect loneliness and improve social intervention.

Its goal is to ensure that older people in mountain villages can continue living in their communities with a good quality of life and remain actively connected to those around them.

Micro-donations with social impact

The €6,940 raised through the Céntimos Solidarios campaign will help sustain and strengthen the Vincles project’s community activities, expanding their reach and consolidating active participation spaces across municipalities in Alt Pirineu and Aran.

The iSocial Foundation would like to express its sincere thanks to Caprabo and WorldCoo for placing their trust in the Vincles project in this edition of the campaign, as well as to all the people whose contributions made this fundraising effort possible. Initiatives like Céntimos Solidarios highlight the value of partnerships between the social sector and the business world. These collaborations help drive projects with real impact on the ground and contribute to building a more cohesive, inclusive society that is attentive to the needs of older people.
