- Recipient: Grenzenlos e.V. (founded 2009)
- Donor: Böttcher AG
- Donation amount: 25,000 euros (total requirement: approx. 70,000 euros)
- Intended use: Establishment of the care service „Die Helfenden“
- Target group: People with physical or mental impairments, individuals in emergency situations through no fault of their own
Milestone for new care service
The generous support from Böttcher AG marks a decisive step for the association Grenzenlos. A total of around 70,000 euros is estimated for the full establishment of the new service „Die Helfenden“. With the 25,000-euro donation, an important foundation has now been laid to launch the offer as quickly as possible and to close the supply gaps in the city area.
Concrete everyday support planned
The new service „Die Helfenden“ is intended to provide reliable support for affected persons in their daily lives. The association’s volunteer and full-time staff accompany and support in very different areas of life. In particular, the following types of assistance are planned:
- Accompaniment for shopping and errands for daily needs
- Practical support in managing the household
- Accompaniment to important medical appointments and treatments
- Support with administrative procedures and filling out forms
- Accompaniment and assistance in professional life to promote social integration
This comprehensive support is also intended to strengthen social participation in the region – a topic that remains of high importance for general social stability and inclusion at a time when unemployment in Jena is at a low level.
What the money will specifically be used for
The major donation from Böttcher AG covers essential costs incurred during the new establishment of such a structure. The association plans to use the funds for the following specific purposes:
- Acquisition of modern technical equipment for administration and coordination
- Provision of uniform and functional service clothing for the helpers
- Financing of public relations work to make the service known to those in need of help
- Prospective acquisition of own vehicles for the mobility of the helpers
🛡️ Engagement and Participation: The Association Grenzenlos
The association Grenzenlos was founded in 2009 in Jena. For over a decade and a half, the members have been passionately advocating for the interests of people with disabilities and impairments.

With the new project „Die Helfenden“, this offer is now being expanded by a practical, direct pillar that starts where the greatest need often exists in everyday life.
