The Foundation bids farewell to 2024 with hope in the air

Bringing joy and motivation to young people at risk of exclusion through recreational activities that stimulate their creativity and build their confidence.

To close 2024, we have launched at Fundación José Antonio Llorente, the traditional year-end initiative, but this time focused on our mission and the legacy of our founder.

We have taken advantage of this special time to be close to young people in vulnerable situations, bringing them joy and motivation through recreational activities that stimulate their creativity and strengthen their confidence, a way for them to take a break from their daily routine.

Thanks to various activities designed to foster personal development and well-being, 251 volunteers have joined 11 associations, making a positive impact on the lives of more than 500 young people at risk of exclusion. Together, we have shared unforgettable experiences and created connections that transcend.

When the LLYC team comes together, here’s what happens:
