The Présence+ Lina project is still under development.

Friends of Lina

Friends of Lina.
A place
for everyone.

A warm community around Présence+: everyone takes part in their own way, with their experience, their time or their support. Trials with real families start in January 2027.

The person's choice, at the heart of the project.

What really matters

What we want to keep is their life.

A favourite armchair. A cat curling up close. A friend dropping by for coffee. These little moments make a home.

Their companion

A pet who is part of the family and brings comfort every day.

Their bonds

Family, friends and shared moments that give life meaning.

Their landmarks

Habits, familiar surroundings and little rituals that reassure.

Preserving independence, together with family and professionals. Staying at home must remain a choice.

Three ways to take part

Choose your place. You can take on more than one.

There is no small role: a little time counts as much as financial support.

Ambassador

Time, not money: introduce Lina to your loved ones, an association or your municipality. Older people and people with a disability will be able to train to support other users.

Sponsor

Financial support, every year or as a one-off, with no automatic renewal. You follow the project's progress and know what your support is used for.

Our next milestone: January 2027

This winter, make the trials possible.

Trials with real families start in January 2027. Your support funds trial kits: tablet, installation and support. After the trials, the kits are refurbished and given to people on low incomes.

Number of kits, suggested amount and payment methods: being prepared.
Leave your details and we will get back to you.

Where your support goes

You choose what it is used for.

I become a sponsor

For the project as a whole: development, trials, launch and access for people on low incomes.

I fund the trials

Until the launch: trial kits, then refurbished and given away.

I give access to Lina

The tablet, installation or subscription for a specific person, mainly after the launch.

Separate accounts

Each purpose is tracked separately. Nothing is quietly reallocated.

Full transparencyFriends of Lina is a Présence+ programme run by Alpenia Group Sàrl. It is not an association: your support gives no share in the company and is not tax-deductible. The people helped remain anonymous.I give access to Lina

A place in the project.
A place in the team.

Employing people with a disability is a priority.

As positions are created, we want to recruit people with a disability as a priority, according to skills and roles, with the necessary adjustments.

Disability affects me directly. I want to build a project where everyone can keep their place, bring their skills and be recognised.
