Avilés Red Cross addresses loneliness, aging, and youth needs

The Red Cross in Avilés, led by president Begoña González, identifies loneliness and aging as major challenges, alongside economic hardship. The organization is seeing increased needs among young people, including both financial struggles and social isolation, expanding its focus beyond the elderly. They are adapting aid methods, such as providing vouchers for groceries, to respect individual dignity. The Red Cross also provides Spanish classes to immigrants and seeks to reduce social disparities through various programs, while facing the challenge of attracting more volunteers.
