iBET Move supports Associação Família Solidária

iBET Move, the sports community of iBET, offered a donation of 1000 Euros to Associação Família Solidária last Friday.

Maria João Sebastião and Fernanda Spínola (researchers and iBET Move coordinators), Ana Figueiredo (People and Culture) and Ana Amaral (External Affairs), were welcomed at the Association by one of their coordinators, Raquel Branco, who introduced them to their projects and facilities.

Família Solidária provides support to local families in Oeiras and Paço de Arcos by enabling access to food and education/job search projects. In their headquarters, different volunteers prepare monthly food baskets for families in need. They additionally organize study sessions for students from 10-14 years old in a project aiming to fight school abandonment and offer support tools to help young adults find jobs.

This donation results from iBET’s sponsorship of iBET Move sports activities which includes running, walking, padel and beach volleyball. In the scope of these activities, iBET partially sponsors some events, with the remaining value being paid by the employees, which is donated to a local social solidarity institution the following year.

Also included in the donation is the value raised through the payment of well-being massages offered on a weekly basis to all our employees.
