Two new projects useful to the community for recipients of the inclusion allowance – Municipality of Sesto San Giovanni

They are called “PUC”, in other words “Projects Useful to the Community” and in Sesto they represent an important element for those who find themselves in a state of economic fragility. To those already active we now add two others just approved by the municipal council: these are “I accompany you”active from April 15, 2024 until December 31, 2024 e “Maintenance for Sesto”always operational from 15 April to 31 December 2024.

With the first project the users, who may be 10, will be employed in welcoming citizens within the municipal structures, in checking appointments, in providing initial information both in person and on the telephone.

The second projecthowever, will allow users, in a number not exceeding five units, to follow and support ordinary maintenance teams to facilitate small interventions in case of need, or to manage and move the material necessary to carry out the activities requested by the manager of the team.

But the “rose” of the “PUC” is already in operation Sesto San Giovanni it is very broad and affects various sectors of public interest.

There is “Everyone in the Garden”active from 2 January last year until 31 December 2024, with which the beneficiaries clean the gardens of schools and nursery schools, also carrying out small maintenance work on the structure concerned.

But also “Sesto Pulita Bis”in operation from 2022 until 31 December 2024: interested parties will undertake to sweep the pavements in high-traffic areas of the city.

With “Let’s unarchive ourselves Bis”which started in 2022 and will end on 31 December 2024, however, the subjects involved can deal with the destruction of the municipality’s paper archives, with the arrangement of folders on the shelves, but also with relational activities with the public who come to the archive municipal and in the search for practices and data entry.

Then, there is “Let’s fix it!! Ter”also active until 31 December 2024, which allows us to optimize the spaces dedicated to the Giocheria warehouse in Via Tonale, to make them more accessible, tidy and functional for children’s activities.
Beneficiaries can also work in the project “Collaboration with the ACAT Senior Center” (operational until 31 December 2024), to take care of and clean the garden near the senior center, arrange the internal spaces, take care of the change and replacement of the recycling bags and also the cleaning of the bowling greens.

For animal lovers there is the project “Two extra hands to help four legs”active from 5 December 2022 to 31 December 2024, thanks to which interested parties will be able to manage the cats in the cattery, take care of the spaces dedicated to them in via Madonna del Bosco, but also help in the care of the greenery, providing help during visits to the school groups or during fundraisers.

And finally there is the project “At the table”in operation until 31 December 2024 to lend a hand with small maintenance and cleaning interventions in the spaces of the Istituto Comprensivo Martiri della Libertà, in the Don Milani and Martiri della Libertà primary and secondary schools.

“Sixth, thanks to careful planning, it was one of the first cities to adopt PUCs – explained the Municipality – already in October 2020 we had recognized the urgency of starting the first activities. Going back in time, precisely, to the period of the pandemic, we strongly wanted the support of the volunteers of the then citizen’s income in the buffer points and vaccination hubs. Now, years later, these projects have become a point of reference in support activities for people in economic fragility and who are seeking training and entry into the world of work”.
