The Foundation San Cebrián attends people with mental disabilities. It belongs to the network FEAPS (Spanish Confederation in support of the people with intellectual disabilities). Its mission is to improve the quality of life of the people with learning disabilities and their families.

Our main aim is still the improvement of the quality of life of our residents and their families.
As an added value, this project will favour an enrichment of the professionals, users and local and European volunteers. This means intercultural learning for the volunteer and our entity.
The European volunteers will enable cultural exchange and a positive encouragement through their new ideas, complementary or alternative methods and the needed motivation.
This social project will offer volunteers the chance of knowing other realities and improve skills related with social relations in a collaboration atmosphere between users and volunteers and volunteers and professionals working with us.
We can show volunteers working methodologies in specific programmes and for the daily work with our users. We are also open to receive suggestions related with previous experience of volunteers with this collective.
We also offer the chance of acquiring social experiences and abilities promoting solidarity and youth participation in the field of integration. Accepting and respecting a specific reality often comes from knowing that reality.
- The project will also favour community relations, as the community centre "House of dreams" will enable the participation of young people in activities together with people with disabilities.
- The town has experience integrating in the community European volunteers.
