Le Coste was born from the Villa Sant'Ignazio cooperative, a reality engaged in hospitality that administers and manages a property and the surrounding land owned by the Society of Jesus, following an intense confrontation. The name derives from a place, the park of the Coste di Cognola, whose recovery is the first commitment of the Cooperative, when it is still part of Villa Sant'Ignazio. One of the fundamental factors that stimulated the birth of the Cooperative is the growing request for help from young people with low education and with personal and relational problems (eg drug addiction, alcoholism, imprisonment). These new requests are added to those of people for whom there are established forms of support (physical and / or psychic invalids). As an awareness of these new social emergencies, some people who work inside Villa Sant'Ignazio, in collaboration with the Department of Social Activities of the Municipality of Trento, give life to the environmental recovery project in the area near Cognola: thus the park team was born . At the beginning the sectors in which the Cooperative operates are: - recovery and maintenance of public and private green areas; - building renovation and construction; - carpentry. The Cooperative, which was founded as a "production and work and social solidarity cooperative", changed its statute on 22 October 1992 following the provisions of national law 381/91 which governs social cooperatives, transforming itself into a "social cooperative of solidarity with responsibility limited ", and takes the form of a type B social cooperative. Historically, the Cooperative carries out purely male activities but, over the years, the need for help from women in difficulty becomes more and more present and so, over the course of the 1996, the search for work spaces suitable for female personnel starts. A first response comes from the municipal administration of Civezzano. In fact, the local Cooperative Family of Seregnano, which has closed its business for some time, makes contact with the Cooperative by proposing a merger in order to respond to the problems of job placement of some particularly difficult women residing in the area. The municipal administration of Civezzano shares the choice and entrusts the Cooperative with the cleaning service of the elementary schools of Civezzano and Seregnano, the clinics in the hamlet, the library and some rooms for public use. The collaboration with the Municipality of Civezzano continues today and with significant results. In December 1996 an agreement was signed with the social cooperative SPES, which manages retirement homes for the elderly, which entrusts Cooperative laundry and ironing service of RSA. In 1997, the headquarters were changed, the Cooperative moved to via Maccani and with the transfer decided to close two of its sectors, namely the construction and carpentry sector, activities considered potentially dangerous for the safety of workers in the process of insertion. With the new orders, the activity of the cooperative also changes and new sectors of intervention are developed. To improve its economic stability, the cooperative in 2002 decided to buy the current headquarters, thus creating the prospects for a more stable future. The Cooperative in modifying and expanding its services is committed to creating job opportunities for people with different problems, paying particular attention to new needs. In these twenty years the initial project has evolved and developed, thus demonstrating the dynamism of the Cooperative. Starting with a coordinator and a couple of tutors, five or six people in job placement and some objector, today the Cooperative employs about 180 people. The organizational structure is made up of: - Shareholders' meeting - President - Board of Directors - Coordination group The Cooperative currently carries out the following activities: - Gardening: construction, maintenance and care of public and private green areas ; setting up of stages and porterage services. - Cleaning: cleaning, disinfection and sanitation of public and private environments; management of access control and custody of public and private environments. - Laundry: laundry services, ironing, wardrobe management, hire of linen for third parties and tidying up of beds in some nursing homes.
