Ms. Weingart, the city councilor for social affairs, health, work and participation, again took over the patronage for the social day. In her absence, Dr. Leistner, the district councilor for urban development, the event. During her visit, she was able to convince herself of the large number of offers, which were presented both by the committed and by the employees: inside.

This initiative to promote social participation and support for older citizens: inside is of great importance. The GGV advisory network does valuable work to improve the accessibility to the consulting landscape and to strengthen the dialogue between older people and the available services.

According to the senior network, access to information and help offers is to be significantly easier through active public relations work. This is particularly important because older people are often confronted with various challenges and need appropriate advisory services in order to be able to live a self -determined life.

Such events not only promote awareness of the needs of older people, but also ensure that they have a point of contact that you can turn to. The commitment of the city administration and specialist groups is essential. More details on this topic can be found in a detailed report on www.berlin.de .
