Community Investment, Portugal, Cooperativa de São Pedro de Barcarena
This organisation works to support children, young people and adults with special needs and those who have difficulty in adapting to society or the world of work in the Oeiras area of Western Lisbon. They run a residential home, a special needs school, and their programmes include an early intervention programme for very young children diagnosed with special needs or at risk as well as support to parents. They have a particular emphasis on equal opportunities. We have recently signed a Protocol agreeing to provide this organisation with pro bono support where we can, particularly labour and litigation related.
