A particular focus is on family work, with offers that support parents and children in a variety of ways, from support for families with newborns to offers to strengthen parental skills.
The Diakonieverband Hannover-Land also operates diaconal shops in various locations that are committed to the sustainable use of resources. These shops offer, among other things, second-hand clothing and initial baby equipment. Meeting places and multi-generation houses in Laatzen, Neustadt and Wunstorf serve as important contact points for people of different generations and cultures, promote exchange and offer a wide range of activities and advice.
Another important field of work is youth vocational assistance, which supports young people on their way into employment. The association also offers emergency housing assistance for people in (imminent) homelessness.
The Diakonieverband Hannover-Land is actively involved in various projects and campaigns, such as "Bücher machen Schule" (Books Make School), a handyman service and the "#wärmewinter" (Warm Winter) initiative. The "Woche der Diakonie" (Week of Diakonie) takes place every year, during which numerous events and church services draw attention to the work of the association.
The Diakonieverband Hannover-Land attaches great importance to sustainability and is guided by the global Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. This is reflected in various initiatives and projects that aim to conserve resources, promote social justice and enable good cooperation between generations and cultures.
