Location

The Valecambrense Association of Parents and Friends of Disabled Citizens (AVPACD) is located in the Regadas de Cima urbanization, an area integrated into the union of parishes of Vila Chã, Codal, and Vila Cova de Perrinho, in the municipality of Vale de Cambra. This location provides it with a serene setting, characteristic of the quieter areas of the municipality, but with proper connection to the urban fabric. The building is located on Rua Comendador Luís Bernardo de Almeida, a local landmark that embeds the institution within the fabric of the Valecambrense community.

A Pillar in the Community

AVPACD represents a fundamental cornerstone for the Vale de Cambra community, being the only institution exclusively dedicated to the support and empowerment of citizens with disabilities in the municipality. Its existence and operation underline a deep social commitment, providing specialized responses and vital support to individuals and families facing the challenges associated with disability. The association's presence is a testament to local solidarity and organizational capacity for inclusion and social well-being.

This space transcends its practical function, asserting itself as a symbol of the union and mutual aid that characterize the region. The institution is a reference point for the social sensitivity and community spirit that drive inclusive progress in Vale de Cambra.

A New Horizon

Currently, the Association is in the development phase of an ambitious project to build a new Headquarters Building. This undertaking has been designed to significantly expand the institution's reception and response capacity, allowing more users to benefit from an optimized environment for their development and well-being. The project reflects AVPACD's vision for the future and its continuous commitment to improving the living conditions of its beneficiaries.

The future complex will integrate a Residential Home, intended to provide a permanent welcoming environment for a group of users, and a Center for Activities and Training for Inclusion (CACI), which aims to support a similar number of individuals through development and integration programs. This initiative highlights the association's constant effort to ensure a dignified and fulfilling life for citizens with disabilities.

A Legacy of Dedication

With a history spanning over three decades, the Valecambrense Association of Parents and Friends of Disabled Citizens has been dedicated to its mission uninterruptedly. This long trajectory is a clear reflection of the perseverance and commitment of its founders, members, and all supporters who, over the years, have contributed to overcoming challenges and continuing the essential support provided.

Despite its consolidated legacy and the positive impact it generates in the community, the pursuit of consolidating its infrastructure has been a constant throughout its existence. The current commitment to building the new headquarters represents the realization of a long-held dream, based on years of effort and unwavering belief in the potential and dignity of each citizen.
