The Jumilla Social Services Center celebrates 30 years of caring for people in need (30/04/2020)

| It was created on May 2, 1990 and reaches three decades of presence in the municipality at a time when its work lives one of your key moments in the face of health alert | The Social Services Center celebrates this Saturday three decades of care for people in need or at risk of social exclusion in the municipality.

30 years of processing social resources that have made it an essential service for citizens throughout this period.

An anniversary that is commemorated precisely on dates when the work of this area of ??the City Council is experiencing one of its moments of greatest need, given the health alert caused by the coronavirus.

Quadrupled aid and maximum effort by staff to overcome the crisis. On May 2, 1990, the Altiplano Social Services Association was created, made up of Yecla and Jumilla City Council Services, working in Jumilla from the Cartel building.

In Jumilla, it starts with three social workers, a psychologist, a legal adviser, an administrative assistant and eight assistants from the Home Help Service. The following year two independent centers are created, one in each municipality.

The one in Jumilla moved to the old Casa de Socorro, behind the Centro de Especialidades to move in 1995 to the municipal building on Calle Ramón y Cajal.

In March 2011, the current five-storey building with more than 1,000 useful square meters was inaugurated on Calle Albano Martínez. Adapting and reinventing In addition to the changes of headquarters, other key moments for the Jumilla Social Services Center come in 2008, when the Accompanying Program for Social Inclusion with two social workers is included in primary care benefits; or in 2011, with the reinforcement of professionals for Dependency Care. During these 30 years it has been the gateway to all the attention in social matters that the Jumillans have raised.

In this time, nearly 300 professionals from different fields and categories have gone through the service, having to adapt and sometimes reinvent themselves to respond to multiple demands such as population changes due to increased immigration, to the precarious economic and labor situation of families, budget cuts in regional aid and social benefits, family overload to care for the unemployed without subsidies, the elderly, people with disabilities or mental illness, as well as the increase in the referral of different health, judicial or dependency procedures . During the last years, the Jumilla City Council has decidedly bet on Social Policy, increasing the amounts allocated to financial aid and programs, as well as subsidies to groups and associations.

Approximately 7% of the municipal budget is allocated each year, which represents close to 1.5 million euros, of which 75% is assumed with own funds, despite the fact that most of the powers are regional in nature.

Predictably, these figures will increase this 2020 due to the health crisis caused by covid-19.
