Volunteering for the elderly

Volunteers know how beneficial it can be to do something meaningful for the community, to get involved and actively participate. As part of its work with senior citizens, the Senior Citizens and Care Support Center supports voluntary work by older people.

Would you like to volunteer or do you need information about facilities where you can get involved or get to know different fields of activity? If so, you can obtain information from the Senior Citizens and Care Support Center.
