'Bringing the years to life'. A hymn to the elderly population of Vila Marim parish.

The parish of Vila Marim, in the municipality of Vila Real, is experiencing the national tragedy of seeing its territory increasingly ageing. 28% of the population living in the parish is over 60 years old. The villages, depopulated, place this fringe of the population increasingly isolated and in a situation of unprecedented vulnerability. This pandemic crisis has proved this scourge to us once again. There is an urgent need to develop a more localised service for this population, which is now more vulnerable than ever. To this end, it will be necessary to purchase a van that will take a series of actions to combat isolation on the move. It should be noted that the only service provided to this population is home help. This is provided by Cáritas, a partner organisation, which only has a protocol for 17 users. We cannot continue to see our elderly people age and spend their days in anguish and sadness. This project will be the start of a new stage in this generation that we want to honour and perpetuate.
