More than 18,100 people from all the autonomous communities have participated as volunteers in the CaixaBank Voluntariado 'Month Social', an initiative that aims to bring Voluntariado closer to all society through the organisation of solidarity activities throughout the month of May. 

The actions have had a positive impact on the lives of more than 112,000 people in vulnerable situations across Spain.  The 2,580 activities carried out across the country, focused on the fields of education, digitalisation, the environment, culture, sport and accompaniment, and always geared towards a personalised attention, have been made possible thanks to the collaboration of a total of 1,282 local social entities.  These initiatives have enabled the Volunteers to become familiar with the realities and needs that affect their closest environment. 

The third edition of the 'Mon Social' has had the collaboration of the "la Caixa" Foundation and employees of the CaixaBank Group and it has coincided, also, with the 20th anniversary of the Association of Volunteers of CaixaBank.  The number of Volunteers has increased 9% with respect to the 16,500 people that participated in the 2024 edition. 

These figures reflect the strong social commitment and the solidarity spirit of the CaixaBank Group and the "la Caixa" Foundation, as well as of society in general towards those who need it most. 

The initiative also highlights the collaboration and capillarity of CaixaBank Voluntariado with local social entities, which are essential in the solidarity action, as they know the needs of each province.

Actions with a real impact

One of the main objectives of the 'Mon Social' and CaixaBank Volunteering is to raise awareness and bring society closer to the different realities that surround us.  To this end, the volunteers in Arona (Tenerife) organised an interactive storytelling workshop and offered vulnerable young people the opportunity to enjoy reading from a different, playful and enriching perspective.

The 'Social Month' promotes sport as an empowerment mechanism and to convey the values of teamwork.  Thus, in Valencia, CaixaBank volunteers, in collaboration with Save The Children and the VCF Foundation, held a solidarity football conference in the sports city of Valencia CF, where the participating boys and girls lived the experience of feeling true professionals of the ball. In Bilbao, and on the occasion of the end of the manomanista of ball, four children from the Fundación Fidias became protagonists of the start of the great Basque sporting event, accompanying the two finalists in the initial procession. 

Throughout the day, CaixaBank's volunteers helped to develop this special experience.  Accompanying is one of the pillars of CaixaBank Volunteering.  In Seville, the volunteers shared an emotional cinema afternoon and anecdotes with the elderly at the Cervantes cinema.  In the Region of Murcia, more than 150 volunteers distributed more than 600 flowers at senior centers throughout the community, giving away moments of joy and company.  Another very special activity was the 'Festa de la Inclusió' in Barcelona, where CaixaBank volunteers and citizens shared games and workshops with the users of the Fundación Via Guasp, in the Rom Cremat park. 

CaixaBank Voluntariado

CaixaBank is one of the largest voluntary initiatives in Spain and its purpose is to bring the practice of solidarity actions closer to all citizens.  With a 20-year history, the association is made up of employees and former employees of the CaixaBank Group and the "la Caixa" Foundation, as well as friends, family members, CaixaBank customers and all those people who want to participate in solidarity activities. 

In the last year, thanks to the joint work with more than 2,500 social entities and the involvement of more than 20,200 volunteers, the CaixaBank Volunteering programme has helped more than 433,000 vulnerable people across Spain, through activities related to education, digitalisation, support for vulnerable people and the environment, among others. 

One of CaixaBank's lines of action is to promote corporate volunteering.  For the company, this is a way of contributing to responding to the challenges demanded by society, while, through its financial activity, it offers services and solutions for social entities and people at risk of vulnerability.
