Associação de Solidariedade Social de Espadanedo (ASSE) is a social solidarity organisation supporting the Cinfães community since 2006. Its mission is to provide quality services tailored to each person’s needs, promote well-being, and help clients achieve greater autonomy and social inclusion. The association places value on dignity, personal relationships, affection, integrity, privacy, confidentiality, ethical conduct, and solidarity, working alongside clients, families, staff, partners, and community organisations.

ASSE’s services include a Centre for Occupational Activities for people with disabilities aged 16 and over. It offers varied activities focused on personal fulfilment, well-being, useful participation, and social integration. Its Residential Home supports people with disabilities and their families, fostering emotional, personal, and social autonomy in a harmonious, home-like setting. Residents are encouraged to take part in everyday routines and community recreational and cultural activities. For people and families unable to manage essential needs or daily living because of illness, disability, or other circumstances, the association also provides personalised care at home.
