CALVIÀ GUARANTEES THAT ALL GRANT APPLICATIONS FROM SENIOR CITIZENS ASSOCIATIONS WILL BE PROCESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER
The mayor, Juan Antonio Amengual, has assured that "senior citizens are a real priority for the new Government team"
The councillor Loli Godoy is the new person in charge of coordinating all the attention to the Calvià Senior Citizens Associations
Representative members of the Calvià Senior Citizens Associations and the entire current Government team have held a meeting this morning at Calvià Town Hall to inquire about the needs of this group. The mayor Juan Antonio Amengual has assured that "senior citizens are a real priority for the new Government team" and proof of this is that "work is already being carried out together with the Senior Citizens Associations and with the Consell de Mallorca so that all these entities can process the subsidies before 31st July”. To achieve this objective, they will have the support of Calvià Town Hall, which will help complete all the necessary bureaucracy so that the Senior Citizens Associations can request the subsidies that allow them to continue carrying out their work.
In this sense, the deputy mayor for Social Services, Family and Senior Citizens of Calvià, Juana María Prats, added that: "we are working with Senior Citizens Associations to help them prepare the documentation and the procedures to opt for the subsidies from the Consell de Mallorca, because our commitment is that they can have all the facilities and help from Calvià Town Hall”. For this, the councillor delegate for Senior Citizens, Loli Godoy, will be the responsible for coordination with the Senior Citizens Associations.
One of the issues that have been exposed this morning in the meeting held in the Plenary Hall is the need to update computer programmes or equipment to streamline and optimise bureaucratic processing. In this sense, the mayor of Calvià, Juan Antonio Amengual, has reiterated his commitment to fight against the digital gap that affects the Senior Citizens group so much.
It should be recalled that these requests for subsidies must incorporate justification of the activities carried out, an accreditation that serves to be eligible for subsidies that allow them to finance the socialisation and meeting work that characterises the Senior Citizens associations of the municipality and that help to combat loneliness amongst senior citizens.
