The partnership with Caritas Italiana continues through the programme “Aiutare chi Aiuta: un Sostegno Alle Nuove Fragilità” (Helping the Helpers: Support in Favour of New Vulnerabilities), in particular with the project “Non più Soli una rete solidale per la terza età” (No Longer Alone: A Solidarity Network for the Elderly) a long-term programme aimed at supporting the Italian Dioceses through calls for tenders managed by Caritas Italiana and the Bank that involves the creation of toll-free numbers in each diocese, delivery services of basic necessities (food and medicines) and co-housing solutions for temporary shelter.
The three-year partnership (2021-2023) with FOM - Fondazione Oratori Milanesi - created the project “Oratori di periferia” (Suburban Parish Recreation Centres), a social regeneration initiative in the Diocese of Milan aimed at refocusing on communities. Active in 30 parishes in the Milan hinterland, the programme aims to rebuild the social fabric of the peripheral areas involved, redefine a community identity and support families from situations of hardship and educational poverty, with a focus on young people.
