No to Solit’Udine.
The No to Solit’Udine Service began in 2004 with theobjective of improving and facilitating the quality of life of older people preventing and counteracting its institutionalisation. It is achieved through a territorial network – formed by the Municipality of Udine and over 20 private social entities who have signed a Memorandum of Understanding – capable of giving differentiated and personalized responses to the needs of the population, ranging from transport for health needs to support for expenses and commissions.
This year, among the initiatives planned for the twentieth anniversary of the Service, a training course aimed at volunteers was organized which aims on the one hand to provide an overview of public services (social and health) aimed at the elderly and on the other to illustrate legal, ethical and moral principles of volunteering. The training course for volunteers will be held in Cussignacco and will take place through various meetings starting on 11 June. The journey will end in November. All the necessary information is available on the Municipality website.
