Un ponte nella vita

Un ponte nella vita APS is a nonprofit organization based in Buccinasco, near Milan, bringing together families of people with physical and intellectual disabilities, including complex needs. The association works to create more inclusive opportunities and a practical support network for its members and the wider community. It advocates for stronger involvement from public institutions and collaborates with local associations and other public or private organizations concerned with disability.

Its projects and activities help participants socialize, learn, develop everyday independence, and build on their abilities with support from trained educators and volunteers. The organization offers courses, workshops, community outings, weekend activities, events, and art exhibitions. It also aims to develop vocational training in areas such as cooking, art, and gardening, and to create local work opportunities where possible. A further goal is to foster welcoming places where participants can feel at home, including in anticipation of future changes in family care.
