The Senior Volunteer project initiates its activities with the "Health in March" routes (12/11/2017)

Under the title of "Health in March", on November 6 began the first activity of the Senior Volunteer project promoted by the Department of Social Rights, led by Conchita Ruiz, in collaboration with the Senior Social Centers.

"Salud en Marcha" was born at the initiative of the major associates of the Social Center for the Elderly of the Ajarbe Shore and consists of walking routes for the surroundings of the garden in which the Center is located.

"The main objective is to encourage physical exercise in nature taking into account the characteristics of the participants, accommodating the rhythms and routes to them and following the objectives of active aging and health promotion," said the councilor.

Leading the group are two volunteers, Rosi and Juan, who are responsible for organizing two marches per week.

Only about twelve people participated in the first outing, mostly partners and members of the center.

Volunteer Project

The councilor recalled that the Social Centers for the Elderly, are in themselves associations of volunteers;

where volunteer actions have been developed, with a more or less informal character and with a diversity of contents.

Some interesting examples we have in actions such as accompaniment, support in the negotiations, making trekking routes, outings to the theater, social gathering and meeting groups, review of English, and especially reading clubs, the result of the motivation of a collective that feels active, committed and supportive.

A project that responds to the social demand and the explicit demand of some Social Centers for the Elderly and intends to offer from the broad framework of organization of the Department of Social Rights, the technical support and the necessary means for the development of volunteer actions, directed to greater ones of the municipality of Murcia, but open to other collectives and entities of the surroundings and counting especially on the majors, like main promoters and beneficiaries.

The main objective of this project, presented at the beginning of last October, is to promote solidarity and social participation of the Elderly, reinforcing the actions that are currently carried out or promoting new ones.

In this way it seeks to involve the associations of the Social Centers for the Elderly, volunteers and City of Murcia to carry out activities of accompaniment (daily, medical, purchasing, ...), social, educational and cultural activities (training sessions, workshops , meetings, meetings, ...), environmental activities (guided tours, excursions, outings, training activities, talks, ...), or healthy activities (educational and informative activities such as lectures, screenings, hiking, ... ).
