Because we act where the need arises.
Activities of Hamburg's volunteer agencies
Sometimes someone needs help at very short notice, or volunteers want to realise an idea – without the necessary funds.
We understand these needs and are therefore actively involved in various projects!
Spontaneous help, finding help quickly
DA NICH' FÜR - Your neighbourhood assistance in Hamburg
Life is full of surprises. Sometimes we need help at short notice, but there is no one around to provide it. At the same time, there are many people who would be willing to help spontaneously if they knew where help was needed. We bring helpers and those seeking help together – free of charge, without complications and as quickly as possible.

Financial support for voluntary work
Money for good causes & citizens' budget
We support your commitment if you want to get involved in your district or neighbourhood. You don't necessarily have to belong to a specific association or initiative. What counts is your commitment! To this end, the district offices of Bergedorf, Eimsbüttel, Hamburg Nord and Harburg provide the respective volunteer agencies with funds from the "Volunteering in the Districts" funding guideline. In the districts of Bergedorf, Eimsbüttel and Harburg, associations, initiatives and organisations that serve the common good can apply for funds from the same budget to expand their work with volunteers or to show their appreciation for their efforts. This allows good ideas to quickly become reality.

Volunteering for people and animals
Paw Buddies
The pet assistance service provided by ASB Zeitspender-Agentur Hamburg supports elderly or sick people so that their beloved pets remain well cared for. A network of volunteers in the neighbourhood steps in when help is needed. With heart and reliability. This way, people and animals stay together – and no one is left alone with their love for their pet.
