Hospice Event Focused on Children's Day

The Bergisches Family Bereavement Center, a network of bereavement services in the Bergisches Land region, is hosting an information event in collaboration with Fight Club Wuppertal on Sunday, February 9th, at Friedrich-Ebert-Straße 149 in Wuppertal. The event, taking place from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, is part of the nationwide observance of the Day of Children's Hospice Care, celebrated annually on February 10th.

The Day of Children's Hospice Care is a special occasion dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of hospice care for children with life-limiting conditions. The event's motto, "Together, we'll punch our way through life," symbolises the unity and support offered to families facing these challenges.

The event in Wuppertal will feature a free boxing workshop led by Werner Kreiskott and his team, aiming to help participants leave their daily worries behind. The workshop is divided into two groups: one for children aged 8 and above, and another for adults.

In addition to the boxing workshop, information stands in the boxing club will provide attendees with the opportunity to learn about family bereavement work and children's hospice care. Entertainment for children too young to participate, along with snacks and drinks, will also be available.

The goal of these events is not only to educate the public about the role and significance of hospice care services for children but also to help remove the stigma associated with children's hospice care. In difficult times, the Bergisches Family Bereavement Center aims to make it easier for people to find the right services by acting as a central point of contact.

Awareness-raising activities and information events are held everywhere on the Day of Children's Hospice Care, with the green ribbon being used as a symbol of support for affected families, initiatives, and children's hospices nationwide. If you are looking for more precise details about the symbol or a detailed history and schedule of the events in Wuppertal, consulting local hospice organizations or the websites of FTZ and Fight Club Wuppertal would be recommended.
