Solidarity award of the Diocese Linz: Volunteer from Lembach and Haslach honored

The Solidarity Prize emphasizes the commitment to people in special emergencies, whereby the focus is on those who are often in the background: people with impairments, refugees and children from disadvantaged conditions. The award was awarded in the presence of prominent personalities such as Bishop Manfred Scheuer and Governor Thomas Stelzer, who underlined the importance of such initiatives.

volunteer engagement in Lembach

An outstanding example of volunteering is the team of the district old-fashioned and nursing home Lembach. Around 100 committed volunteers contribute to enabling residents to live a fulfilling life. The numerous activities they organize range from sociable events to excursions to individual help, which give the senior citizens a feeling of appreciation. Talks and emotional support in difficult times are central elements of their important work.

Responsibility for the coordinated commitment is a volunteer coordinator Eva Leitner and her team. They ensure that the volunteers can contribute their skills and interests in a sensible way - be it in the role as a godfather or in the direction of larger events. Their commitment has strongly shaped personal interaction in everyday life, which is a source of consolation and joy for many.

Health promotion through Ges. and

The Ges. und-project from Haslach illuminates another aspect of civic engagement: the promotion of health and well-being in the region. Founded by Proges in cooperation with the municipality of Haslach, the initiators have created a wide range of support offers for all citizens. From the language course "Meeting point German" to creative groups to health initiatives - active participation is very important here.

and encourages the population to participate and bring people together to learn from each other and strengthen each other. Social cooperation is also very important here: common ground are celebrated and bridges between different social groups are built. The project is designed to grow continuously and respond to the needs of the residents, which makes it a central part of community work.

The projects not only promote people's health, but also strengthens the feeling of belonging together. It becomes clear that if the citizens are actively involved in the design of their surroundings, this can contribute to a living and supportive environment. The appreciation of both initiatives within the framework of the Solidarity Prize is therefore not only an honor, but also an incentive for others, also to be committed to society.
