Glades Tchiri

My name is Glades Tchiri, and I share the position of neighbourhood manager with Heidrun Rinke at the DRK Quartierstreff Bocholt Südwest.

I enjoy getting involved in neighbourhood work to promote neighbourliness and community in the Bocholt Südwest neighbourhood. Our focus is on the needs of senior citizens and migrants.

Thanks to my own multicultural family history, I am familiar with the challenges and potential of these groups. As a former integration counsellor, I know how important support and guidance are when it comes to integration.

As I speak several languages, I can help with filling out forms or other matters if required.

We look forward to welcoming many residents to the neighbourhood. We are available for appointments by phone or e-mail.

As a qualified office and project management specialist, I have worked for many years in various areas of organisation, projects and major events. Through this, I have learnt one thing above all else: great things come from working together.

Following my time in business development, I have been working for the German Red Cross (DRK) since 2024 in a coordinating role within the administration and projects department.

My new role as neighbourhood manager in the South-West neighbourhood brings together exactly what matters most to me: connecting with people and working together to turn ideas into reality. I'm particularly keen to get to know the neighbourhood and its diversity, and to help ensure that the people living there feel at home.

For me, being open to a wide range of ideas and concerns is just as much a part of the role as supporting, guiding and working together to turn ideas into reality - so that the neighbourhood becomes even more beautiful, vibrant and liveable.
