After the establishment, the Cooperative Il Cigno took its first steps in the Savio Valley, then in the Municipality of Cesena, up to expanding its range of action, especially in the elderly area in a first period and after Il Cingo extended its intervention to several kind of vulnerabilities and frialties ( disabled people, homelesses, psychiatric rehabilitation, childhood) and its action reached the whole Italian territory. Il Cigno has been involved in welcoming and helping homelesses and people in conditions of serious marginalization and social fragility in Rome area for the past twenty years, starting with the management, begun in 2002, of the city emergency social and proximity service called SOS, but also through the management of reception, taking charge and care of people hosted at the reception center called "Mother Teresa of Calcutta" since 2005 and at the "San Michele" Center since 2017.

Stichting Life Goals
The Life Goals Foundation (in Dutch: Stichting Life Goals Nederland) stimulates the participation of socially excluded
people in our society through sport. Sport gets people moving. Literally, but also in the sense that sport offers
inspiration to pick up life again. The foundation was founded in 2010.
Life Goals offers customized sports programs. Sport is our means to give participants the confidence to make something
of their lives. With our programs we manage the personal development of our participants. Sport offers the possibilities
to socialize and to build a social network. The feeling of belonging somewhere. A feeling that every person needs.
Mission
Life Goals Netherlands wants to contribute to a society in which nobody is offside. We use the power of sport to inspire
people to participate again.
Vision
Life Goals Netherlands develops sports programs to realize social goals. Within all our programs we use the core
elements of sport as a metaphor for life. With this we inspire people who do not (even) save it themselves.
Megálló Csoport Alapítvány
Megálló Group Foundation – is a community where addicted people can go to seek help. It started
out as a treatment center catered to hard drug users (heroin and meth), but over the years it has
grown and changed a lot. Megálló functions as an alternative school, and accredited teachers give
lessons like maths, history, and Hungarian and English language.
The students that attend the
school are usually referred to Megálló because they have behavioural problems, addiction
problems, or their parents are worried they’re hanging out with the wrong crowd and they want to
put their kids in an environment that is more closely monitored.
The goal is for these kids to finish
high school and earn a diploma.
Megálló offers a lot of different therapy programs that reflect the
personalities and experiences of their organizers. In general, academic classes take place in the
morning and in the afternoon begin a variety of therapy groups and programs (art&sport).
