Couto Vivo

Couto Vivo is a nonprofit social and cultural support association focused on improving quality of life and well-being through community connection, culture and recreation. Its work serves residents of the Union of Parishes of Alvitos and Couto and the Union of Parishes of Campo and Tamel S. Fins, encouraging people to take part through volunteering, donations, partnerships and sharing local activities.

A key initiative, Laços em Corrente, brings practical support closer to the community. It includes home podiatry consultations for monitoring and treating diabetic foot conditions, free legal advice for people experiencing financial hardship, and Espaço LEC, a give-and-receive space where people can exchange essential goods. Couto Vivo also runs a holiday camp and promotes other community projects and activities. The association invites supporters to donate essential items, offer their time, become partners or help spread the word. Through these services and opportunities to participate, Couto Vivo aims to strengthen local ties and help address community needs.
