What Andidownsabadell does

Andi Sabadell (legal name: Associació Andi Down Sabadell) is a non-profit association founded on June 20, 1994, by parents of children with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities in Sabadell, Catalonia, Spain. The organization delivers a comprehensive lifecycle of social intervention services — educational support (school support, speech therapy, psychological care), youth development (leisure programs, sports, arts), labor integration (Xic x Xics pre-labor training, Esqueix supported employment), and independent living (training apartments, self-management groups, supported housing) — to approximately 175 beneficiaries and 60 families per year. It operates from a main headquarters at C/ de la República 35-39 in Sabadell, with a secondary Xic x Xics social commerce location at C/ Sant Cugat 48.

The association has no proprietary technology platform; its service delivery is fundamentally human-led and community-based. Revenue is derived from four streams: annual membership fees, individual and corporate donations (tax-deductible under Spain's Ley 49/2002), public subsidies from the Generalitat de Catalunya, Ajuntament de Sabadell, and the European Social Fund, and modest retail income from the Xic x Xics social commerce initiative. Services are provided free of charge or at subsidized rates to beneficiaries, with no commercial pricing model. The organization holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and was declared an Entity of Public Utility in 2010.

Andi Sabadell is governed by a Junta Directiva elected from among its members and employs approximately 32 staff across general services, social work, pedagogical support, leisure activities, employment programs, and independent living services. The organization is federated with Down España, Down Catalunya, Dincat, and ACTAS, and maintains financial partnerships with Fundación Vodafone España, Fundación ONCE, Obra Social La Caixa, and the European Social Fund. Its operating scope is regional, focused on Sabadell and surrounding municipalities in the Vallès Occidental.
