Leisure,
If you are looking to share hobbies, discover new places in company, have new experiences, choose what you like the most, meet new people and make friends, you have to discoverour Leisure Service!
Because at AVIFES propose that you enjoy your leisure time to the fullest. Therefore, during the year we have a lot of different activities based on what you are telling us. We are not 5, we are not 10, we are more than 250 people with mental illness who go to the movies, visit museums, travel along the Don Quixote Route, we bronze ourselves on the Levantine and Andalusian beaches… and we do excursions to places where there is good gastronomy.
We have the support of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, Department of Social Action.
Enjoy your free time!

Growing together
Leisure is a basic human right, just like education, getting a job,… nobody should be deprived.
Leisure is one of the fundamental components in the quality of life of any person, and it has a great impact on the subjective perception of satisfaction, well-being and personal development.
Leisure must empower people and communities through positive, satisfying and freely chosen experiences.
