Outdoor recreational activities for disabled youth have been broadened
In the heart of Mönchengladbach, the Aktion Freizeit behinderter Jugendlicher e.V. (AFbJ) has expanded its outdoor area on Roermonder Straße, providing more space for leisure activities for children and young people with disabilities. This expansion was made possible through generous donations, with the Sparkassenstiftung Mönchengladbach playing a significant role.
The AFbJ is dedicated to the recreational activities of young people with disabilities, and the expanded outdoor area offers a plethora of opportunities for outdoor fun. The Sparkassenstiftung Mönchengladbach is a key supporter, funding the development and improvement projects for the outdoor area.
The specific details about the construction projects or concrete activities on the expanded outdoor area are not detailed in the source. However, this project aims to support the participation and self-determination of young people with disabilities during their leisure time.
A notable addition to the expanded area is the new grill and chill corner, complete with seating and an outdoor kitchen. This inviting space encourages celebration and cooking together on the grounds. The barrier-free playground, already a popular spot, now has a complementary area for relaxation and socialisation.
The redesign of the area has also allowed for an enlargement of the children and young people's playing field. The expansion has made play safer, as it is now separate from maneuvering vehicles. The expanded area is a community space where children with and without disabilities play, frolic, and discover together, fostering social cohesion in society.
The chairman of the board of the Stadtsparkasse Mönchengladbach, Antonius Bergmann, expressed his pleasure at supporting the work of the AFbJ with the donation. The Sparkassenstiftung Mönchengladbach considers the work of the AFbJ in promoting inclusion an important aspect of social cohesion in society.
The expansion of the outdoor area at the AFbJ strengthens the care offer for people with and without disabilities, making leisure activities more accessible and enjoyable for all. The AFbJ continues to be a beacon of inclusion and a testament to the power of community support.
The AFbJ's expanded outdoor area fosters a lifestyle that promotes outdoor-living, particularly for young people with disabilities as they participate in leisure activities. The home-and-garden space, featuring a new grill and chill corner, encourages socialization among the young people, promoting community cohesion.
