Ongoing Projects
HEALTH
Community Trust Spetses collaborates with the Municipality of Spetses and the Postgraduate Department of Disaster Medicine and Global Health at the Medical School of NKUA, aiming to strengthen the resilience of our local community in public health emergencies.
Through training seminars and capacity-building programs, we prepare our community to respond effectively to health crises, ensuring better preparedness and faster response during emergency situations.
Paediatric Office
Community Trust Spetses is the strategic partner of the Pediatric Clinic and prioritizes its operational support as a core mission.
The establishment of the Pediatric Clinic on Spetses addresses a long-standing local need, providing daily care to approximately 500 permanently residing children on the island and many more during the tourist season.
Through this partnership, we strengthen a vital service for local families and ensure all children have access to consistent, reliable, and immediate pediatric care.
ENVIRONMENT
Reduce single-use plastic
In collaboration with the Laboratory of Operational Environmental Policy and Management of the Department of Environment at the University of the Aegean, we are launching an important research initiative to map the current situation of plastic packaging waste from bottled water on the island of Spetses. This study aims to support better understanding, planning, and sustainable solutions for local waste management.

CULTURE
The Street Library
The Street Library was created to bring books closer to everyone. In a time when access to reading and knowledge is more important than ever, we wanted to create a small, open space where books are free to travel – from hand to hand, from heart to heart.
How does it work?
Read: Sit down, flip through a book, take a break.
Take: If something catches your eye, feel free to take the book home –it’s yours, no cost, no catch.
Leave: Got books at home you no longer need?
Leave them here for someone else to enjoy.
The Street Library is a living space fueled by love, community, and sharing.
Are you a business owner?
If you own a shop, café, or space that loves the neighborhood and you'd like to host a Street Library outside your business, get in touch with us!
We’ll be happy to help you create your own little reading corner where stories can be shared freely.

📚The Street Library Reading Group is a welcoming space to read together, share stories, and connect with people who enjoy reading.
Whatever you have read, whatever moved you or made you laugh — come and share it with us!
Become part of the Reading Group.
In collaboration with the General Lyceum of Spetses, students conduct a series of interviews with locals and visitors of the island, creating a vivid audio archive of oral testimonies.
The aim of the podcast is to record and highlight the experiences, stories, and memories of Spetses during the 1980s, offering a valuable bridge between the island’s past and present.
