The Assistive Products Bank (BPS) of the Associació Alba is a loan and advisory service aimed at improving the daily life of people with functional limitations. This service is designed for elderly people, people with disabilities or special needs, and their caregivers, offering technical solutions that enhance autonomy and accessibility.

Moreover, for over 5 years, we have been managing the BPS of the County Councils of Urgell and Segarra, thus expanding our impact and reaching more people who need technical support to improve their quality of life.
