AFANNES Toledo

Support for people with disabilities and rare diseases

AFANNES Toledo is a private nonprofit association established in 2004 to support people with intellectual disabilities, developmental disabilities, and rare diseases. Spain's government declared it a public-benefit organization on June 20, 2013.

The association is part of Plena Inclusión Castilla-La Mancha, the Castilla-La Mancha Autism Federation, and the Castilla-La Mancha Alliance of Rare Disease Associations.

Activities and programs

AFANNES organizes recreational, social, and life-skills activities for its participants. Programs documented on its website include a summer day camp attended by 10 people with intellectual disabilities, developmental disorders, and/or rare diseases, as well as an annual seven-day camp at Natural School in Cuerva. The latest edition described by the association was its 14th.

It also runs an ongoing social-skills and support group. According to AFANNES, the group has grown into a friendship group that plans its own activities, including a trip to the Canary Islands.
