Where to ask for social assistance in Spain

Neighbourhood centres, and in some regions benefit offices

Cities divide social services by district, so the centre that helps you often depends on your registered address. Open a centre to see what it offers, such as a social assessment, support with regional benefits or help for older people, and how to start by phone or appointment.
