Auxilia Murcia, despite its longevity and being a founder of FAMDIF-COCEMFE, is a small association as far as workers are concerned, since it is mainly nurtured by the altruistic work of university students - many of them are derived to Famdif associations -.
Auxilia Murcia currently has around fifty active volunteers and a group of 80 people with disabilities divided into two groups: young people and children.
From its beginnings in 1968 until now, Auxilia Murcia has evolved not only in services but in activities and resources, as well as in improving the quality of life of people with physical disabilities in different areas (education, accessibility, work, health ...)
