The social association
The Social Association VdK Berlin-Brandenburg e.V. is the largest socio-political interest representation in Germany, with over 2.2 million members. Founded in 1950 as an association for war victims, survivors of war, and social pensioners, the VdK has developed over the decades into a modern and comprehensive social association.
For more than 70 years, the VdK has been committed to social justice and a fairer social policy. It fights against social exclusion, poverty, and unequal opportunities and demands fair pay and solidarity. The association is politically and confessionally neutral and primarily finances itself through membership fees and donations to maintain its independence[1][3][5].
The VdK is federally structured and consists of a federal association, 13 state associations, and numerous district and local associations. The federal association based in Berlin represents the interests of members at the national level, while the state and district associations coordinate and carry out work locally[1][3].
The Social Association VdK Berlin-Brandenburg is a strong partner for people who need help and support in social matters and tirelessly advocates for a solidarity-based society in which all people can participate.
