In mid-December, the Consorci de la Zona Franca de Barcelona (CZFB) and Onda Cero presented the awards for a new edition of the “Ciutat Solidària” prizes at the Palau de la Música Catalana. These honours support NGOs and non-profit social organisations working in solidarity, socio-labour integration, and care for the elderly and the most disadvantaged groups. The first award went to En Bici Sense Edat, an organisation that, since 2016, has promoted active ageing and support for older people and those with mobility issues. In addition to combating unwanted loneliness, one of its main activities is organising outings using electric tricycles driven by volunteers. A runner-up prize (accésit) was awarded to Després del Suïcidi, founded in 2012 to create a space for accompaniment and support in grief for survivors of suicide loss. Finally, a second runner-up prize went to the association T’Acompanyem, established in 2009 as a solidarity response to the economic crisis. The organisation offers workshops, courses, and training to unemployed individuals to help them re-enter the workforce. The event featured participation from Pere Navarro, the State Delegate at the Consorci de la Zona Franca de Barcelona; Blanca Sorigué, CEO of the CZFB; and Francesc Robert, Director of Atresmedia Radio in Catalonia.
