Mediaform donates to “Hands for Children” - support for families with children with disabilities

In the pre-Christmas period, Mediaform is particularly keen to support social projects. Instead of sending out printed Christmas cards by post, Mediaform traditionally donates the corresponding amount to a charitable cause. This year, the donation of EUR 4,000 will go to “Hands for Children”. The Neue Kupferhof in the north of Hamburg offers short-term accommodation for children and young people with disabilities and their families.

The Neue Kupferhof offers recuperation for the whole family

Since 2013, “Hands for Children” (“Hände für Kinder”) has enabled around 350 families to take a break from their everyday lives during the year. The aim is to allow the whole family to return to everyday life stronger - which is why the “Hands for Children” team provides round-the-clock care for the guest children with disabilities. Steffen Schumann, Chairman of the Board and Managing Director of “Hände für Kinder”, says: “’Hands for Children’ offers a short-term home from home to families with a child with a disability. We take loving care of the children, while their parents can switch off and think about themselves for a while - something they usually never do.

As Jörg Weber, Managing Director of Mediaform, emphasises: “What particularly impressed us about this ‘Hands for Children’ arrangement is the fact that it is not just about the children, but also about their families that are also affected.

Mediaform’s intention by giving this donation is to make a contribution to providing relief to families in difficult life situations. This initiative is an integral part of the company’s philosophy of assuming social responsibility, and supporting those who urgently need help, especially during the Christmas period.
