In the most vulnerable neighborhoods, local services are essential for identifying people’s needs and offering concrete, accessible, and continuous support. When care, listening, and guidance come together in the same place, it becomes easier to fight isolation and build pathways toward well-being and inclusion. This vision is at the heart of the work of Il Campanile ETS, an association active in Turin since 1997 in the social assistance and training sectors. Since 2001, the Association has also managed Cecchi Point - Casa del Quartiere, a multicultural and community hub in the Aurora - Porta Palazzo neighborhood, an area marked by social fragility, migration, and low income. Here, activities and services are offered to children and teenagers, families, older adults, women with a migrant background, foreign nationals, and people experiencing different forms of vulnerability. In 2024 alone, Cecchi Point reached around 700 people. Through the “Cecchi Community Care” project, promoted together with the Porta Palazzo Community Foundation, the Association aims to create a new local hub with social and health-related functions in an unused area of Cecchi Point, designed to respond concretely to the needs of the local community. The project includes structural work and the setup of spaces to provide care services across several areas: Health and well-being. Food distribution and essential goods. Social services, information desks, and social and specialist guidance. With our contribution, we are specifically supporting the renovation and setup of the spaces that will host a gym for rehabilitation and psychomotor activities, as well as an infirmary with rooms for consultations and medical visits. In the first year of the service’s launch alone, the project is expected to involve around 150 people. This is concrete support to strengthen local services in the neighborhood and expand opportunities for care, listening, and guidance for the most vulnerable people.
