Peveragno
Peveragno is a municipality (comune) in the Province of Cuneo, in Piedmont. Its territory is home to the Peveragno committee of the Italian Red Cross, which also extends its activity to the municipalities of Boves, Chiusa di Pesio and Beinette [1].
Red Cross activities
The committee runs a project-based volunteer service for the daily transport of people with disabilities between their homes and day centres, involving more than forty people [1][2]. In November 2026 these results were presented as a model during the Italian Red Cross's national assembly [1][2].
In the same period a new Civil Service volunteer took up her post, while for December 2026 a training course for aspiring volunteers is planned [1][2].
Vehicles and equipment
The committee has put into service two new vehicles for transporting patients who can walk and those in wheelchairs, replacing vehicles with high age and mileage [2]. The first was bought with the committee's own funds and a contribution from Banca di Boves, the second thanks to a donation from a family from Boves [1][2].
By the end of 2026 a new ambulance is due to be delivered, co-funded through the Fondazione CRT's "Missione Soccorso" scheme [1][2]. The renewal of equipment also includes the purchase of two approved wheelchairs for vehicle transport, made possible by contributions from Banca di Caraglio and the Fondazione Banca di Pianfei e Rocca de' Baldi [1][2].
