A new training course for volunteer senior companions and bureaucracy guides will begin on October 22, 2025. It is offered by the Diaconal Service Darmstadt-Dieburg in cooperation with the City of Darmstadt's Social Services and Counseling Center. The course runs until November 26, 2025, and generally takes place on Wednesday mornings at the Regional Diaconal Service's offices in the Lincoln-Siedlung district. It will be supplemented by four additional sessions. Since 2004, this course has prepared people to accompany older citizens \u2013 whether to appointments with authorities or in everyday situations. In nine varied sessions, an experienced instructor will impart sound knowledge about aging and provide practical advice for the visiting service. Tasks range from having coffee together or going for walks to providing assistance with forms and bureaucratic procedures. The goal is to enable older people to enjoy a better quality of life and greater participation in society. Participation is free. Volunteer placements are arranged through the City of Darmstadt, on whose behalf the volunteers work. Those interested can find out more and register by contacting the Diaconal Service Darmstadt-Dieburg: \ud83d\udce7 ilona.zettl@regionale-diakonie.de \ud83c\udf10 www.diakonie-darmstadt.de (DARMSTADT \u2013 RED\/PM)"}
