Good practice

Very good cooperation was established with local authorities, the local municipality gave financial support for the purchase of the real estate. The organisation also cooperates with the local Public Administration Office and the employment centre. It was very important that the setting is situated in the centre of the town to allow service users and the local residents interact. The setting organises programmes – summer picnic etc. – where neighbours are invited. The local TV shot a 45-minute documentary on the opening of the setting and regularly reports on their life. To upgrade, expand and introduce new services, the organisation regularly applies for funds from the Ministry of Health, Social and Family Affairs, PHARE and the European Social Fund.
