Making sensible use of care relief // Places are still available for Tuesday, 4 February and Monday, 10 February
Bringing together those who need help with those who want to give support: That is the aim of the "Marktplatz Nachbarschaftshilfe". The start of this four-part series of events organised by the city of Bocholt was very promising. And there are still places available for the upcoming events.
The Caritas Association Bocholt's neighbourhood meeting point on Münsterstraße was packed to the rafters for the opening event. After a presentation on the framework conditions for neighbourhood help, the senior citizens looking for support in their everyday lives quickly got talking to the neighbourhood helpers.
"We are very pleased with the positive response and the great feedback from the participants. A number of agreements have already been reached, so that in future senior citizens will be able to receive at least ten hours of support per month for the relief amount", says Christian Tewiele from the responsible department for senior citizens, volunteering, care and pensions in the city of Bocholt.
