With the Gym of life project, Cooperativa Sire wants to create a housing solution that reproduces the family home environment and its relationships.

The residence will not only be a place in which to live and eat but will be a place to experience autonomy, with the support of highly qualified, multidisciplinary staff.

What the project involves

Sire's staff will develop customised programmes by continuously training residents in independent living and managing daily life, from preparing meals and shopping to money management.

Expected Outcomes

  • Promotion of independent living through targeted interventions
  • Acquisition of new autonomy and relationship skills, fostering the individual’s socialisation and integration as an active part of the social system
  • Creation of customised and individualised programmes with short- and long-term goals, in cooperation with the competent local services

The beneficiaries

The project targets persons with disabilities with reasonable autonomy and without parental support and public or private assistance to create forms of independent living and social inclusion in the reference context for a maximum of 5 persons over the age of 18.
