Solidarity

The RCPB Foundation has joined two initiatives this year aimed at improving the lives of two very different groups of children with special needs.

The first project is "Eating with Support," carried out by the Nen Déu Special Education School in Barcelona. Its goal is to provide highly personalized tools and specialized care for 108 children with intellectual disabilities to perform the basic function of eating.

The second project is the "Mou el Límit" Adapted Tennis School for Children, led by the Johan Cruyff Foundation. The Club collaborates in creating a network of adapted tennis preschools. The goal for the 2023-2025 period is to open eight to ten new branches throughout Catalonia, benefiting around 100 children with functional diversity.

CSIO Barcelona has provided both projects with a booth in PoloPark to raise awareness of their efforts and to carry out various activities to raise funds.

We also collaborate with Mary's Meals.

Eleven years ago, thanks to an initiative that emerged between the IBE and the Barcelona Equestrian Challenge, the "Cavall i esport" activity was born, which allowed all children in Barcelona to include an equestrian project in their pedagogical plan. Now these project, more alive than ever, developes at the equestrian school of the RCPB where children are offered the possibility of experimenting with the school ponies on new sensations, fostering respect and love for animals.
