Volunteer Day in Coburg: Thanks to the silent heroes of our city!
The city's volunteer day took place today in the festive setting of the Rosengarten Congress Center in Coburg. Here, long-standing and deserving volunteers were called to the front rows to thank them for their tireless efforts. The third mayor Can Aydin presented the awards together with the deputy mayor Sabine Feuerbach-Heim and emphasized the immense importance of volunteer work for social cohesion. “Without volunteering, nothing would work in Coburg,” said Aydin, emphasizing in particular the valuable work of the senior citizens’ advisory board, the citizens’ associations and the translators and cultural interpreters.
Ernst Franke was also honored at the festive event for his remarkable commitment to the sleep apnea self-help group. Franke, a contact person for those affected, makes an important contribution to raising awareness about sleep apnea and the challenges associated with it. His group has already supported many people in the Coburg region and made demands to the general public. The sleep apnea self-help group in Coburg is a central point of contact for those affected who are looking for help and exchange and can be reached at Am Weinberg 5, 96450 Coburg.
Voluntary work is essential
The awards on Volunteer Day are not only an appreciation for the individuals, but also a sign of recognition for all those who work behind the scenes. Volunteers not only provide a service to the community, but also have a significant impact on social interaction. In times when cohesion is more important than ever, events like these show that committed citizens form the basis for a functioning social life.
The event was attended by numerous representatives from politics and the social sector, who took the opportunity to exchange ideas about the current situation of volunteer work in the city. The popularity of such events shows that volunteering is very popular in Coburg.
Self-help groups as support
In addition, the event emphasized the role of self-help groups, such as the sleep apnea support group. These groups are a valuable resource for people suffering from sleep apnea or similar sleep disorders. There are numerous other groups throughout Bavaria that deal with sleep apnea and its accompanying symptoms. Here is a list of other contacts:
