Miesbach's social welfare in focus: Pride prevents many from receiving support!

Miesbach's social welfare in focus: Pride prevents many from receiving support!

There is reason to be happy in Miesbach, as the city's social foundation received an impressive sum of almost 22,000 euros in grants and around 6,000 euros in donations last year. This not only shows the generous support of the Miesbach citizens, but also the fruits of an optimized funding structure. The total value of the foundation now amounts to more than 4.4 million euros, as treasurer Josef Schäffler proudly announced in the finance committee. This positive development is the result of the merger of three independent foundations, which now act together to improve the overview of the funding system in the region.

The focus here is particularly on people in difficult life situations, including seniors with low pensions, people with disabilities and financially restricted families. The foundation supports them in areas such as transportation costs, medical expenses and school supplies. Despite the uncomplicated and low-threshold application process, many people hesitate to seek help. Karin Priller from the social welfare office emphasizes the high inhibition threshold, which often results from a feeling of pride. It becomes clear how important it is that the foundation also assumes a symbolic function for social cohesion.

Commitment to the community

However, the commitment to people in need is not just limited to the social foundation. Lebenshilfe Miesbach plays a crucial role by offering therapeutic and curative education infrastructure. Your support is based on the interaction of friends, sponsors and volunteers. There are numerous ways to get involved - be it by visiting the special education children's home, helping out with the LebensMUT open work for the disabled or by getting involved at festivals.

• Besuch im heilpädagogischen Kinderheim
• Mitwirkung bei der Offenen Behindertenarbeit LebensMUT
• Hilfe bei Festen oder dem Tag der Offenen Tür
• Unterstützung in der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit
• Engagement im Familienentlastenden Dienst (FED)

Lebenshilfe Miesbach is actively looking for volunteers and new members and invites anyone interested to get in touch. Donations are also welcome to continue the valuable work, for example through the non-profit Lebenshilfe Miesbach GmbH or Lebenshilfe Miesbach e.V.

Help for people in need

Another important player in the region is the People in Need Foundation, which specializes in supporting people in special emergency situations. It offers individual help and promotes sustainable projects that are intended to sustainably improve the lives of people in need. Small donations can make a big difference here, especially when it comes to helping children and families in precarious situations. Every application for support is carefully examined to ensure that help goes where it is needed most.

With all of these initiatives and the ongoing development of the social foundation, it is clear that the city of Miesbach continues to have a good hand when it comes to social cohesion and supporting people in need. The city administration plans to continue to develop the foundation in the future and increase its awareness in order to reach even more people. Because together you can really make a difference!
