Lunet Facility Services, an integral services company based on facilities maintenance –which operates in various sectors such as education, industry, pharma "property" or health, and in areas such as cleaning, maintenance, auxiliary services and D+D+D–, has reaffirmed its commitment to the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC Barcelona) by making a donation that strengthens the grants programme for students at the University at risk of social exclusion. The grant donated by the Maria Pou Foundation, which is promoted by Lunet Facility Services, offers students at risk of social exclusion the opportunity to study any degree programme at UIC Barcelona. With this gesture, Lunet Facility Services renews the collaboration agreement signed in 2017 and joins UIC Barcelona's annual ‘No Talent Without a Future’ campaign to support talented students facing financial hardship.
The donation was hand-delivered by Juan Miguel Carmona, CEO of Lunet Facility Services, to Alfonso Méndiz, rector of UIC Barcelona, on the University’s Barcelona Campus. At the conferral of the donation, Mr Carmona expressed his willingness to continue supporting the project and helping to generate equal opportunities among students. Since its beginnings, Lunet's mission has been to be an organisation committed to people, a fact that is corroborated by another of its solidarity initiatives, ‘Lunet Solidario’. Mr Carmona stressed that the company “supports projects in collaboration with entities with which it shares values, such as solidarity, equality and respect, such as UIC Barcelona”. These projects are always linked to the development of deprived areas, improving education or the living conditions of marginalised groups.
On behalf of UIC Barcelona, rector Alfonso Méndiz thanked Mr Carmona for the donation and highlighted “the commitment” that Lunet Facilty Services has always shown to the University. “Gestures like the one we have received today”, commented the rector, “say a lot about the company Mr Carmona represents and help our students to stay afloat and demonstrate their talent”.
