Regional support at the Elmos Group locations around the world (sports, art, and culture) – with a focus on the headquarters of the Elmos Group in Dortmund. This includes supporting art and culture, such as the concert hall, and a variety of assistance for the city’s children and young people. In 2023 the Elmos Foundation funded its first project for students at the Elmos site in Korea.
The Jungtop Community Welfare Center near the Elmos site in Seong-nam-si, Korea helps children affected by economic hardship, family conflicts, or serious illness. The Elmos Foundation supported the center with a donation. Schoolbags and running shoes for children in need were purchased with the funds. Thank you to the employees of Elmos Korea for their outstanding support.
The Dortmund-based architect Regina Bieber has been planning recreational facilities and learning aids for Dortmund’s children and youths since 2016. Actively getting involved and providing help where it’s needed is her motto. The architect jumps in where a need is apparent, funds are lacking, and innovation is necessary. Over the past years, the Elmos Foundation has helped BB4U several times with the redesign and child-friendly expansion of youth recreational facilities.
BB4U’s latest project, which we are happy to support, is aimed at children with little access to nature in their urban space. Built on a former mining site, the Natur Sport Park Zeche Kaiser Friedrich offers recreational activities for children in a natural environment, with plenty of exercise in fresh air. BB4U is planning several construction projects in the park in cooperation with the association Erlebt-was e. V. The first cabin has already been finished. More will follow so that children aren’t left out in the rain when the weather is poor. Additional structures including a greenhouse, climbing tower, construction trailer, and child and youth center are going to be built.
The association “Living without handicap” is a parents’ initiative that is planning and implementing a residential program for eight young people with disabilities. Suitable living space for people with severe multiple disabilities is lacking in Dortmund. With the former community center of the Protestant Georgsgemeinde in Dortmund-Sölderholz, a suitable building was found and is currently being converted and finished to meet the needs of the future residents. After the groundbreaking ceremony in January, the topping-out ceremony was held in September of 2023. Residents are expected to move into the building in February 2024. The association is counting on private donations, especially for the interior design.
With the donation made by the Elmos Foundation, the association is financing part of the interior designs for therapy needs, such as standing and walking training in the residential facility.
