Children of the Early Attention Program developed by Grupo Envera - APMIB have posed with Atlético de Madrid players to illustrate the solidarity calendar that the red and white Foundation publishes every year.

The presentation of this calendar took place today at the Vicente Calderón stadium and was attended by representatives of the Community of Madrid, Atlético de Madrid and the entities that have participated in the calendar, including Grupo Envera, represented by its general manager, Pedro Sobrino.

Gabi, captain of "atleti" did not want to miss the event either, who signed several autographs with the children, the real protagonists of the calendar, and who were able to share this day with their families.

The program La Tarde de COPE, directed and presented by journalist Ángel Expósito, dedicated one of its sections this Thursday to the International Day of Disability, giving the opportunity to people from Grupo Envera to tell their daily lives, their stories and experiences.

The interviewees, technicians in social and labor integration and users of our centers in Colmenar Viejo, explained their personal vision of the world of disability and also their dedications.

This Tuesday took place at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando the award ceremony of the VIII Justice and Disability Forum Awards, organized by the General Council of the Judiciary and chaired by Her Majesty Queen Letizia.

Students from the Envera Group's training program attended the event, representing this group to which the Justice and Disability Forum dedicates its work.

The Queen was joined by the President of the Supreme Court and the General Council of the Judiciary, Carlos Lesmes; the Minister of Justice, Rafael Catalá; the Attorney General of the State, Consuelo Madrigal; the Ombudsman, Soledad Becerril; and the Director of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, Fernando de Terán.

The President of the Community of Madrid, Cristina Cifuentes, visited today the facilities of Grupo Envera - APMIB located in the Madrid town of Colmenar Viejo to give her support to people with disabilities and reiterate her commitment to the development of a strategy to provide comprehensive care to people with "different abilities".

The president of Grupo Envera, José Antonio Quintero, and the general manager, Pedro Sobrino, received the president, who was accompanied by Carlos Izquierdo, Minister of Social Policies and Family, Jorge Jiménez, general manager of Attention to People with Disabilities, and Miguel Ángel Santamaría, mayor of the Madrid town.

Since 1992, this day has been celebrated as the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, which in 2014 had as its theme "Sustainable Development: The Promise of Technology".

For Grupo Envera - APMIB, in its commitment to ensure that all people enjoy a full quality of life through the social and labor insertion of people with disabilities, this is an important date that also coincides in proximity with another important milestone for us: International Volunteer Day (December 5).

On November 6, the Municipal Plenary of the Town Council of Colmenar Viejo unanimously adopted the award of the Medal of the Town in the gold category to Grupo Envera - APMIB "in recognition of the work it has done over the years for the social and labor integration of people with disabilities".

This Sunday, November 22, on the occasion of Colmenar Viejo Day, the president of Envera, its general manager and several of its members were invited to the Consistory headquarters to participate in the institutional acts and receive the award from the mayor.

On November 18 and 19, Pavilion 2 of the IFEMA fairgrounds in Madrid once again hosted the 9th edition of the Employment and Disability Fair with the aim of bringing together employers and people with disabilities seeking employment to facilitate their integration, as well as to raise awareness in society and activate labor participation.

For the ninth consecutive year, we set up the Envera stand so that visitors could get to know us closely. In the 2014 edition, a total of 1,343 resumes were received in person and through the form on the official website of the fair. It is expected that this year the number of resumes collected will be similar.

Iberia, our main patron and with whom we have a special relationship, celebrated last Sunday the 25th anniversary of Hangar 6, a space located in La Muñoza (Madrid) specially designed to provide shelter for aircraft to be repaired and which, with a surface area of twenty thousand square meters, is completely open-plan.

The aeronautical company wanted to take advantage of the occasion to organize a solidarity race in favor of Grupo Envera - APMIB and the Fundación mano a mano, in which Iberia employees, families and friends participated.

The visit of Juan Manuel Moreno (PP-A) coincides with the dangerous situation in which the center finds itself due to the non-payment of twelve million euros by the Junta de Andalucía. This amount, which should have been destined since 2014 to Malaga organizations dedicated to the labor insertion of people with disabilities, puts at risk more than 2,500 jobs.

Alfonso Candón, deputy for Cádiz and local president of the Partido Popular in Puerto de Santa María, is also a member of the Commission for Comprehensive Disability Policies of the Congress of Deputies.
