The players of the FC Barcelona women’s first team visited other youth hospitals in Barcelona and, as last year, various youth care centers of the Generalitat de Catalunya. This networking event is organised every year through the FC Barcelona Foundation on Christmas and New Year as part of its Emotional Wellbeing programme. Seeing, meeting and chatting with the Blaugrana players is a moment of joy and normal happiness for children and young people who are going through a difficult time the holidays.
The Blaugrana party, led by the vice-president of the Institutional Sector, Elena Fort and the vice-president of the Economic Sector, Eduard Romeu, as well as members of the board of directors and rectors of the Foundation, left the Ciutat Esportiva in several buses to go to hospitals and fitness centres.
During the visits, the players spent time with the teens signing autographs, taking selfies and handing out gifts to bring smiles and joy to the faces of the teens who, in some cases, suffer from serious illnesses. The visits are carried out as part of the “Christmas All Year Round” network initiative, which in turn is part of the FC Barcelona Foundation’s Emotional Wellbeing project. Aware of the ability of FC Barcelona and its athletes to have a positive influence on hospitalised adolescents, the Foundation regularly organises visits to hospitals for adolescents in Barcelona.
As in 2023, the angelesyers visited several centres for young people dependent on the “Dirección General de l’Atenció a los angeles Infància y l’Adolescència” (DGAIA), dependent on the Generalitat de Catalunya. These centres will offer transitional accommodation to minors under the age of 18 who are in conditions of social vulnerability (reception centres), as well as to young people and young adults who have been removed from the circle of the relos angelestives house because their educational wishes have not been fulfilled (Centres Residencials d’Acció Educativa – CRAE).
The arrival of the players to the rest of the centers was a vital and emotional moment for the young men and women. During the visits they had the opportunity to meet the Barça Women’s players, take photos with them and also obtain gifts. For the players, youth and young adult assembly is an exclusive and enriching experience.
The following hospitals and centres were visited:
