The residential care centre Sint-Gerardus is a retirement home for elderly people where many volunteers have been integrated in the day-to-day running so that a wide range of entertaining activities can be offered to the residents. One of the activities organised by volunteers is taking a walk with the residents of the retirement home. This way, they not only break the social isolation of these elderly people but also take them into the fresh air.
Thanks to wheelchairs made available by the residential care centre, also less mobile residents can come along. With the support from the Alpro Social Fund they would like to purchase electric auxiliary drives that are easy to install on wheelchairs to support the volunteers that have to push them.
