ENRIQUETA VILLAVECCHIA FOUNDATION
What we want to do
In recent years, the Villavecchia Foundation has promoted the "Count on me" project, which has helped to develop specialised care for children and young people with serious life-limiting illnesses, with the participation of five reference hospitals in Catalonia. But it is necessary to go a step further and create a comprehensive support space, offering residential places and day support, and providing spaces for respite, leisure and family support, and suitable spaces to accompany the end of life.
A UNIQUE AND PIONEERING CENTRE
SUPPORT
We will work on comprehensive family care and support with the accompaniment of professionals.
RESPITE
We will offer respite stays that will include therapies, multisensory stimulation, water area...
END OF LIFE
We will attend to the last days of life of children in a warm and welcoming environment for the whole family.
COMMUNITY
We will promote the involvement of the community, the support of educational centres and the care of professionals.
IMPACT
AN INCOMPARABLE LOCATION
The centre will be located in an emblematic place in Barcelona, with a long tradition and social commitment to the most vulnerable groups: the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau.
The historic site is made up of 27 pavilions. One of them is the Santa Victoria Pavilion, which at the beginning of the 20th century was already dedicated to the care of sick children. True to its original purpose, we propose to convert it into the first paediatric hospice in the country. It will be refurbished by the renowned Catalan architect Carme Pinós.
It will have 1.380 m2 of built surface + 1.300 m2 of gardens.
