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.

Heidrun Rinke

Hello, my name is Heidrun Rinke and I have been working together with my colleague Glades Tchiri as a neighbourhood manager in Quartier Südwest at Bärendorfstr. 24 since 1 October 2024.

I have lived here in beautiful Bocholt since 1990 and have a professional background in nursing with 23 years of experience in inpatient psychiatric care. For the past 7 years I have worked as a support plan coordinator in assisted living in Wesel. Here, too, I worked with people with mental illnesses.

Neighbourhood work came to me by chance. So I'm all the more pleased with my new area of work. Because I love helping people out of their loneliness, creating programmes and seeing how fears are reduced, people come together, hurdles are overcome together and joy returns to people's faces.

We always have an open ear for the wishes, worries and concerns of all neighbourhood residents and their families.

When our flag flies in front of the neighbourhood meeting place, someone is there. So feel free to come in - we look forward to seeing you!
