RED CROSS

We are currently looking for committed volunteers to start a new community for the residents of the Robert Jacobsensvej housing facility. The community will take place every Monday from 19-21 p.m.

The residents have a great desire to participate in various activities such as board games, billiards, table football, creative projects, music and much more. In the beginning, we will primarily focus on games and banco. Your efforts will help create the framework for a meaningful community for a vulnerable target group. Together you will create good experiences, togetherness, new relationships and get to know each other.

The target group consists of mentally vulnerable people with mental and social challenges. They often have a tendency to isolate themselves and experience loneliness. Through this community we want to change this and contribute to a more meaningful and social everyday life through inclusion and inclusiveness.

The community is not supposed to provide treatment or therapy. The most important thing is to meet the residents at eye level and create equal relationships.
