The Vega de San Mateo City Council, through its Department for the Elderly, continues to promote actions to prevent unwanted loneliness and strengthen community support networks.

These initiatives are part of the Soledad 0% Program, funded by the Government of the Canary Islands and organized by the Fundación Canaria Lidia García, with municipal collaboration.
On the morning of Wednesday, October 14, a training meeting was held as part of the Gran Canaria Community Activities Exhibition (MUACC 2026). The event brought together elderly individuals and professionals from the health and social sectors.
The day focused on learning, reflection, and the exchange of experiences, aiming to build a closer and more committed community dedicated to the well-being of its citizens.
The City Council has expressed gratitude for the attendance and involvement of all participants in this initiative.
Upcoming actions scheduled for October 2026 include a Human Library at CEIP La Solana on Thursday, October 15 (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM), another at CEIP Rafael Gómez Santos on Wednesday, October 21 (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM), and a community excursion to La Aldea on Friday, October 30, for which all spots have already been filled.
