What COCEMFE ASTURIAS does

COCEMFE Asturias is a non-profit confederation founded on February 27, 1994, that represents people with physical and organic disabilities in the Principality of Asturias, Spain. Headquartered in Gijón with approximately 40 employees, the organization operates as an umbrella federation for disability associations, providing comprehensive social services including residential and day care (Centro de Atención Integral de Viesques with 21 residential and 30 day care places), rehabilitation programs, specialized home care, adapted transport, employment integration services, and technical accessibility consulting through its Oficina Técnica de Accesibilidad (OTA). Its service portfolio also includes the Oficina de Vida Autónoma y Participativa (OVAP) for independent living support, and the organization publishes the serCapaz magazine (87th edition in 2026), the Manual de Lenguaje Inclusivo, and the Libro Blanco de la Discapacidad Orgánica.

The organization's revenue model is entirely non-commercial, funded through public subsidies from regional government departments (Consejerías de Salud, Derechos Sociales, Industria y Empleo, Presidencia), municipal governments (Gijón, Oviedo, Avilés), national ministries, and the 0.7% IRPF tax allocation channeled through the Mesa del Tercer Sector. Additional revenue comes from corporate sponsorships via the Empresa Solidaria campaign (which engaged 4,200+ companies and generated 837,000+ euros for 598 social programs), grants from foundations including Fundación ONCE and Fundación La Caixa, and social enterprise revenue from its two subsidiaries: Apoyo y Cuidados para la Calidad de Vida S.L. (home care) and Grupo Iniciativas S.L. (special employment center). Services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries.

COCEMFE Asturias operates an integrated organizational structure comprising the parent confederation, the Fundación Iniciativas para la Discapacidad (founded 2003, registered AS-049), and the two subsidiary companies. It holds ISO 9001 certification, is regulated under the Real Decreto de entidades colaboradoras del Tercer Sector, and holds formal representation in the Consejo Sectorial de Discapacidad de Gijón. Its President, Mónica Oviedo, simultaneously serves as President of CERMI Asturias, providing institutional influence over regional disability policy. The organization is a member of the national COCEMFE confederation representing 1,600+ social entities across Spain.
