The group collaborates with an organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of children and adolescents with cancer in the province of Tarragona and throughout Catalonia.
Castell d’Or has renewed its collaboration with the Association of Families and Friends of Children with Cancer in Catalonia (AFANOC), a private organization that provides comprehensive psychosocial care to children and adolescents with cancer and to their families. The Head of Communications at AFANOC Tarragona, Anna Robert, and the Head of Communications at Castell d’Or, Cristina Garcia, have jointly formalized this collaboration, reaffirming the company’s commitment to improving the quality of life of children and families affected by the disease.
The main objective is to improve the quality of life of families and children who are going through the illness, as well as to contribute to greater awareness and understanding of these diseases and their treatments. From its more social perspective, Castell d’Or aims to support this project and the activities that the organization will carry out in the near future. Castell d’Or contributes its grain of sand hand in hand with associations from its closest environment, thus strengthening the social fabric and contributing to the well-being of the community.
AFANOC carries out its work in Barcelona, Lleida, Tarragona, and Girona. It is also present in the main referral hospitals, Sant Joan de Déu and Vall d’Hebron. In addition, it runs La Casa dels Xuklis, which provides accommodation for families who need to travel far from their homes to receive treatment at Barcelona’s referral hospitals.
Likewise, the group made up of 16 cooperatives supports the “Put on Your Cap!” campaign, an awareness-raising initiative to highlight the existence of childhood cancer, with the aim of normalizing the disease and addressing the needs that arise following its diagnosis. The cap is the central symbol of the campaign because one of the side effects experienced by children and adolescents as a result of treatment is hair loss, and they often cover their heads with a cap.
