About the volunteering opportunity
Any person can be in a position where they are no longer able to take responsibility for important matters in their lives as a result of an accident, illness, old age or disability. In voluntary care, you support people, for example, in attending doctor's appointments, answering their mail, making bank transfers, but also in finding a new apartment or a facility.

You would like to support people in shaping their everyday lives in a variety of areas? You do not mind processing applications to authorities and health insurance companies, but maybe even fun? Then this honorary office is the right thing for you.
