Consorzio Sociale Il Filo da Tessere

What Consorzio Sociale Il Filo da Tessere does

Consorzio Sociale Il Filo da Tessere is a non-profit consortium founded in 2000 in Biella, Piedmont, that aggregates 12 social cooperatives into a unified network for territorial welfare service delivery. Its portfolio centers on Welfare Aziendale (corporate welfare consulting delivered to private and public companies for over 10 years) and Welfare Territoriale (services commissioned by public entities including active labor policies, equal opportunities, training, and research). The consortium has been an accredited labor services provider for Regione Piemonte since 2016 (operator code D18979) and operates the Biellawelfare digital platform, launched in March 2020, which provides self-service access to welfare, conciliation, and personal services across member cooperatives. Additional service lines include Sportello Antidiscriminazione (anti-discrimination information point), Sportello Casa (housing mediation), career orientation, Servizio Civile and European Solidarity Corps programs, SPID Facile digital identity assistance, and the Scuola di Economia Civile educational program.

The consortium operates from Cascina Oremo (Corso Giuseppe Pella 21, Biella) with 24 employees and a network of member cooperatives including Domus Laetitiae, Maria Cecilia, Tantintenti, Finis Terrae, RaggioVerde, Sportivamente, VedoGiovane, Big Picture Learning, and Oremo Energia Solidale (a 2024-launched renewable energy community cooperative). Revenue mechanics are dual: publicly funded commissions (Piedmont Region, Provincia di Biella, Consorzio Cissabo, EU programs including Equality for work and life with ANPAL, European Commission, CGM, Fondazione Brodolini) and private corporate welfare consulting contracts. Services to citizens are delivered free of charge, while ISO 9001 quality certification and PNRR-funded initiatives (e.g., SPID Facile) reinforce institutional procurement eligibility. Geographic scope spans Piedmont (Biella, Novara, Vercelli) with newer initiatives reaching Cuneo province.
