Eurobank Group to build care centre and independent living residences for people with disabilities

In a firm commitment to social inclusion and care of vulnerable groups, Eurobank is reinforcing its social role by announcing the development of a Day Care Centre for People with Disabilities over the age of 21, along with two Independent Living Residences for adults with autism.

This initiative aims to enhance existing care services by providing support to people with disabilities. It is a modern support programme, featuring specially designed facilities and trained personnel, focused on promoting active social inclusion, skills development, and creative engagement.

The project will be carried out in collaboration with the Deputy Ministry of Social Welfare, which will assume operational responsibility upon completion, including the implementation of specialised programmes and staffing. It will include:

• A Day Care Centre, offering a safe and supportive environment with programmes for social integration, psychological empowerment, and creative activities.
• Two Independent Living Residences, featuring tailored programmes designed to meet the individual needs of their residents.

With a total budget of up to €2 million, Eurobank will fund the entire project, including construction oversight and project management, ensuring both quality and timely delivery.

Statement by Michalis Louis, CEO of Hellenic Bank: “Our responsibility as an organisation goes beyond supporting economic growth. We are committed to continuous social contribution, especially for people truly in need. This initiative is about dignity, safety, and hope for a better future for people with disabilities, people with autism, and their families. I would like to express my thanks to the Deputy Ministry of Social Welfare for its excellent cooperation and support in implementing this important project, which significantly strengthens social care in our country.”

Statement by Marilena Evangelou, Deputy Minister of Social Welfare: “The services provided to adult Persons with Disabilities are being significantly enhanced through the commendable initiative of the Eurobank Group, for which I express my heartfelt thanks. This collaboration will establish a modern centre that embraces individuals with severe disabilities, offering specialised care, empowerment, and social integration services. At the same time, the creation of two Independent Living Residences substantially strengthens the support framework for people with autism. Eurobank’s initiative is an example of social responsibility and highlights the importance of synergies in achieving actions with real social impact.”

The initiative aligns with the core pillars of Eurobank’s Corporate Social Responsibility, with a strong focus on inclusion, care and support for vulnerable social groups.

Eurobank demonstrates its commitment through action, aiming to create a positive and lasting social impact in Cyprus. Its ambition is not only to be the largest banking organisation in the country, but also an institution with a truly humanitarian mission.
