My organisation

Our customers are social economy organizations (sponsors, commercial enterprises), public welfare providers as legislators and co-financiers, umbrella organizations, NPOs and NGOs, supra- and international organizations. Our vision is an inclusive society in which those affected by poverty, the disabled, children and young people at risk, those in need of care and the unemployed participate in social wealth and socio-cultural self-realization opportunities. Social services such as advice, support and accommodation services play an essential role in this. Those in need of help therefore have a legal right to social services. At the center of the social economy should be clients and users as owners of social economy organizations. Social economy needs legal security, medium-term planning, conceptual and budgetary scope for action and development. Our motivation is to participate in the development, regulation, control and evaluation of social services in order to enable people in challenging and debilitating life situations to participate in society.
