Initiative "Together in Bocholt"
3 July: Actions against loneliness in Bocholt / Register now
Loneliness can affect anyone!
Young people, senior citizens, single parents, newcomers, people with disabilities or after a separation. Nobody in Bocholt should be lonely or become lonely.
Let's find ways together - for all those who feel lonely and all those who want to help!
As a city community, we want to be there for each other, especially for people who feel lonely.
