More than Two million Catalans receive care from organizations gathered at the Roundtable of Third Sector Social Entities, which is confident that Parliament will approve, after three years, the third sector law which must recognize the work carried out by professionals and volunteers. Since May 2025, Xavier Trabado Farré has been its president, replacingEnric Morist, died suddenly

They used advertisements to adopt or buy puppies. They asked for an initial payment for the animal and then, little by little, demanded further transfers for vaccinations, transport, microchipping, a cage... When the string of payments ended, they vanished, and the client never saw a trace of the pet they had bought. This was just one of the fraudulent activities carried out by the criminal network that the Civil Guard has dismantled in Vizcaya, in the Basque Country. The organization used multiple phone lines, bank accounts, and false or stolen identity documents to deceive buyers. Three members of the clan even controlled an octogenarian man, forcing him to beg. They isolated the elderly man from his family and also used his information to open bank accounts with which they committed scams exceeding €36,000. Furthermore, the illegal activity didn't end there. As detailed by the Civil Guard, the criminal group also fraudulently received social benefits—guaranteed income and minimum living income. In fact, the police force estimates that the clan improperly received over €560,000 in social benefits. Finally, they used the money obtained through scams and illegal social benefits to invest up to €55,000 in cryptocurrencies.

Not everyone who is entitled to social benefits receives them. Some don't even apply for them because they either don't know they're entitled to them or don't even apply for them. This is a phenomenon known as non-take-up or coverage gap, leaving thousands of vulnerable people without protection. It is estimated that in Catalonia, 79% of families with children who could receive the childhood supplement do not; 18% of people who meet the requirements for the guaranteed citizen income do not benefit, and 66% of potential users of the minimum living income (IMV) do not either.
