Community-led instruction program resumes in the local area
Are you interested in making a difference in your community? A neighbourhood support course is coming to Herten on October 28th and 29th, 2025, and it's an excellent opportunity for you to lend a helping hand.
The course, a collaboration between Caritas Association Herten, AWO, and the Counseling and Information Center for Care (BIP), will take place at Caritas Association Herten, Hospitalstraße 11-13, 45699 Herten. Registration for the course can be done through Helmut Scholtz at AWO Neighborhood Office Paulusviertel, Auf den Flachsbeckwiesen 2, 45659 Recklinghausen, Phone: 0 23 61 485 888 5.
This two-day course covers all aspects of neighbourhood support, with a focus on small household tasks, shopping assistance, accompaniment to outings or doctor's appointments, as well as companionship and care. It provides thorough preparation for tasks of neighbourhood support, aiming to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to provide security and prepare for typical situations.
The course schedule includes sessions from 3:00 PM to 7:30 PM on both days. It covers legal foundations, communication with people with disabilities, and practical help like handling assistive devices. The goal of the course is to empower individuals who support neighbours or acquaintances with care needs, but are not close relatives, living in the same household, or registered as a care person, to make a valuable contribution to people with care needs in their neighbourhood.
As a volunteer neighbourhood supporter, you will also learn about the monthly relief allowance of 131 euros for care recipients in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) that can be used for neighbourhood support in daily life. This allowance can help cover costs associated with your role as a neighbourhood supporter, such as transportation or groceries.
The course is open to anyone who wants to support or is already helping in daily life. Whether you're looking to expand your skills or simply want to give back to your community, this course is a great place to start.
