Anffas Paderno

Anffas Paderno Dugnano ETS-APS is a local association of families and people with intellectual disabilities and neurodevelopmental disorders. Operating since 1977, it belongs to the wider Anffas network of local associations and organisations across Italy. Its work focuses on protecting the rights of people with disabilities and their families, supporting quality of life, equal opportunities, non-discrimination and social inclusion.

The association responds to social-care and leisure needs of people of all ages with intellectual disabilities. Its free S.A.I. (Welcome and Information Service) is open to the local community and provides information and support related to disability. Anffas Paderno Dugnano also promotes public awareness initiatives and maintains dialogue with local institutions to advance civil and human rights.

Its activities include a volunteer group, the UFLC running group, “Corri con Anffas” events and a community choir. The association welcomes volunteers and invites supporters to contribute to its projects. Based in Paderno Dugnano, it serves as a local resource for people with disabilities, families and residents seeking information or opportunities to participate.
