Relief organization Salzburg: Successful year 2024 for social services!
The Salzburg relief organization draws an impressive balance for the year 2024. More than 9,163 people were looked after, supported by 1,344 committed employees and a turnover of over 74 million euros. These figures underline the central role of the aid organization as one of the largest social service providers in the region. Particularly noticeable is the demand in the areas of care, childcare and youth work, which is continually increasing hilfswerk.at reported.
An important element of social care are the senior day centers, in which 268 seniors found a supervised day structure. Mobile care and support remains a mainstay of the aid organization, with an impressive 183,244 hours in home nursing and 204,358 hours through home help. Additionally, over 118,500 meals were delivered through the Meals on Wheels program. The qualitative further training of the staff was promoted through 493 educational events and 2,382 participations, which strengthens the specialists for future challenges.
Young people in focus
A goal was achieved in youth work: 19,401 contacts with young people in 13 youth centers. The mobile project “Outside” is particularly successful, targeting girls and boys at popular meeting points in their communities. Here you can get support with everyday questions, be it when looking for an apprenticeship, in stressful situations at school or in personal conflicts. The team of youth coaches not only promotes personal development, but also supports people in finding their identity and integrating into society, as the aid organization's reports show.
The challenges of the coming years include the shortage of skilled workers, quality assurance and digital transformation in social work. The aid organization continues to focus on innovation and the creation of strong networks in order to actively shape the future of care and support. These comprehensive measures make it clear how important the social infrastructure is in Salzburg and how diverse the support is for all age groups ots.at is underlined.
