Swiss Red Cross, Zug

30,000 Swiss francs for the «SRC Transport Service»
This service gives people with limited mobility greater independence and enjoyment in their everyday lives. When public transport is not an option and there is no one in their personal circle who can help, the «Red Cross Transport Service» ensures safe mobility. Volunteer drivers use their own cars to reliably take those affected to the doctor, hospital or therapy appointment – and pick them up again afterwards.

The cheque was handed by project mentor Urs Walder (2. from the left), Head Center of Competence at Colin&Cie, to Stefanie Holm, Managing Director of the Swiss Red Cross, Canton Zug.

The focus is not only on interaction at the dinner table, but also on practical everyday skills: participants learn how to use their shopping budget wisely and maintain a balanced and healthy diet. At the same time, the project raises awareness of mindful and environmentally friendly food consumption.
