The Corona virus also affected the Red Cross in Erding. Now the BRK wants to concentrate on its actual work again - and has to save.
Erding - The corona pandemic is gradually subsiding, now is the time for the BRK district association Erding to concentrate on its actual work again. There will be no projects for the time being. "The liquidity is secured, but we definitely have to tighten our belts for a while," announced district manager Gisela van der Heijden.
The tasks of the Red Cross are clearly defined. "Of course, all members and employees in the Corona crisis were working for their fellow human beings," emphasizes spokeswoman Daniela Pfanzelt. Almost all areas would have continued to work, but with restrictions. The individual hygiene concepts would still work. "Voluntary members and full-time employees pay strict attention to compliance," said Pfanzelt.
Now that the crisis work is becoming a little less, plans could be made again. District chairman Franz Hofstetter, his first deputy Andreas Lindner and van der Heijden discussed projects for the coming year. It was about what should be realized or what will be postponed to the next few years.
The Red Cross in Erding will continue to support people in need, operate the Herzenswunschmobil and the entire voluntary sector, said Pfanzelt, only with investments and projects are you holding back this year. "Of course, the tasks of the Red Cross will continue to be carried out in full," added Hofstetter. (dap)
