Vehicle adapted for people with disabilities

Vehicle adapted for people with disabilities

Aguas de Torremolinos has officially ceded to the Town Council's Social Welfare Office the first vehicle adapted for people with disabilities. Among other applications, the vehicle will be used to provide support services, including transporting people to day centres, sports activities and actions in the CaPAZ project, which include the dog-assisted therapy that is carried out in the Palma de Mallorca secondary education school and aquatic therapy in the Virgen del Carmen II Municipal Pool.

Aguas de Torremolinos support schemes

In its commitment to ensure that the most vulnerable social groups have access to water, Aguas de Torremolinos, along with the Town Council, has established assistance for groups at risk of social exclusion who cannot pay their water bills. This led to the Torremolinos support scheme, which is assigned 20,000 euros per year to meet water and refuse bills in cases in which the Social Welfare Office identifies a risk of social exclusion.
