All people: those cases in which care activity is directed at a wider range than the groups classified below.

Infants and youth: minors, and young people in need between 0 and 24 years old; lacking active family life or custodians, suffering conflictive adult behaviour towards them or other problems generated by an inadequate family environment.

Women: group in a state need, exacerbated in the case of single women with family burdens and women suffering from violence.

The elderly: persons past the age of retirement whose socio-economic situation has changed and are suffering a progressive psychological and physiological decline.

Differently abled: people whose possibilities of integrating in society are reduced as consequence of a handicap which is likely to be of a permanent nature.

Alienated sectors: people who are suffering progressive alienation and isolation, undermining the integral elements of their social and personal identity. The following subgroups are included in this group: people of no fixed abode, prisoners, ex-convicts, alcoholics, drug addicts, ethnic minorities and other groups which do not lend themselves to classification.
