Die
The Lebenshilfe im Kreis Pinneberg is a non-profit organization committed to supporting, promoting and integrating people with intellectual, mental and physical disabilities. It supports people with support needs from early intervention through daycare centers, school support, family support, leisure activities to housing and work[2]. The focus of the work is on self-determined living and equal participation in social life.
The offer of Lebenshilfe im Kreis Pinneberg is diverse and includes both inpatient and outpatient services:
The guiding principle of Lebenshilfe im Kreis Pinneberg is: "It is normal to be different"[2]. The organization is committed to inclusion, equality and a matter of course coexistence of people with and without disabilities. The goal is an inclusive society in which everyone receives the support they need to lead a self-determined life. The Lebenshilfe works integratively, promotes individuality, values diversity and is oriented towards the individual needs of people with disabilities and their families. It is non-profit, serves exclusively social tasks and is not profit-oriented[1][2].
The Lebenshilfe im Kreis Pinneberg sees its social responsibility clearly in the social field; sustainability goals are therefore closely linked to social inclusion, social participation and equal opportunities. It makes an active contribution to the integration of people with disabilities into the labor market, for example through cooperation with around 200 companies from the region, which place orders with the workshop and can thus fulfill part of the statutory compensatory levy by employing people with disabilities[4]. This commitment promotes the acceptance of individual differences in society and strengthens the right to an equal life for all[4].
In addition, the organization focuses on promoting independence, empowerment and social co-responsibility. It regularly offers leisure, music and sports activities to enable a lively community and social participation[3]. The offers are continuously adapted to current needs and developments in order to guarantee sustainable, needs-based support.
The Lebenshilfe im Kreis Pinneberg looks back on a tradition of over 40 years and has emerged from the voluntary commitment of parents and experts[2]. It works closely with local companies, public administrations and other social institutions to ensure the widest possible range of services. The Werkstatt Eichenkamp in Pinneberg-Thesdorf is an important location where a variety of craft activities are carried out and disabled employees have direct contact with the regional economy - sometimes even up to a permanent position in external companies[4].
The organization is known for its flexibility, reliability and high quality of services. It accompanies people with disabilities throughout their lives and is a reliable partner for families and municipal authorities in social issues.
The Lebenshilfe im Kreis Pinneberg is an important, non-profit institution that is committed to inclusion, self-determination and social participation of people with disabilities. It offers a wide range of support and funding opportunities, works integratively and is an important player for social sustainability in the Kreis Pinneberg. Its long-standing commitment, the innovative cooperation with the regional economy and the clear commitment to diversity and equality make it a central component of the social network in the region.
