You are warmly welcome!

One of Immanuel Church’s key diaconal efforts is to provide shower facilities for vulnerable EU/EEA citizens living in our city. For those without housing or financial resources, personal hygiene is far from a given – that’s why every Thursday afternoon, we open the shower rooms next to the church’s sports hall. A small effort that can make a big difference and empower individuals.

We are now looking for more volunteers to join a rotating schedule, led by responsible staff. Both new and returning volunteers are warmly welcome! No prior experience is required – the most important thing is that you want to be a present and caring person. Each volunteer shift lasts about 1.5 hours, and there are always at least two people on site. Would you like to contribute some of your time? We know it will be greatly appreciated – by both participants and staff. Sign up your interest or reach out to our Diaconal Assistant, Ulrika Grevin, to learn more: ulrika.grevin@immanuelskyrkan.se

Are you between 20 and 30? New to the area, a student, or someone who’s just starting out in life? Then this is for you!
