Rincón de la Victoria town hall on the eastern stretch of the Costa del Sol and the local branch of the Red Cross have signed a new agreement to help vulnerable families and individuals in the town.

President of the local Red Cross branch, Rubí Castro, signed the agreement with the mayor of Rincón, Francisco Salado, on Tuesday 23 July to allocate a grant amounting to 60,000 euros. The money will be used for three social intervention projects aimed at unemployed people and vulnerable families in the municipality. The event was also attended by Francisco Román from the Red Cross and the councillor for social welfare Olga Cervantes.

Rubíi Castro said, “Thanks to the support received we are developing with great success this important project that aims to reach more than 150 people in the municipality in terms of employment. The coordination between the town hall and the Red Cross makes it possible to carry out projects that are so necessary for the municipality.”

The mayor said, “This is an important joint action which, in addition to the 60,000 euros of municipal subsidy, has funding from the European Social Fund to address social intervention actions provided at the Red Cross Rincon de la Victoria through referrals made from social services.”

The project covers three areas of the Red Cross’ work: access to employment for young people, women victims of gender violence and with training to facilitate the integration into the labour market of people who are long-term unemployed.
