The handover ceremony took place in the Council Chamber of the Begur Town Hall and was presided over by the mayor and foundation president, Maite Selva. Selva highlighted that "these contributions allow us to support entities that accompany people in difficult times and work to offer them more opportunities. We want to contribute to the continuity of this work and recognize the commitment of the people who make it possible".
This year, the Foundation has allocated a total of 20,000 euros, distributed in four donations of 5,000 euros each. The beneficiary entities are the Fundació Acollida i Esperança Franciscans de La Bisbal (which supports people with HIV/AIDS in situations of social exclusion), Amics de Mboulembou (an NGO working for the development of the village of Boulembou in Senegal), the Associació Ictus/Girona (which offers guidance and support to people who have suffered a stroke and their families), and the Fundació Esclerosi Múltiple (which works to improve the quality of life for people with multiple sclerosis and their families).
Through this initiative, the Sant Carles de Begur Hospital Foundation aims to recognize the committed work of these entities in improving the quality of life for vulnerable individuals and to continue reinforcing its social commitment to the territory. The Foundation manages several properties in the municipality, with revenues reinvested in social and health projects in Begur and Esclanyà.
