Our guiding principles

We are a self-help association dedicated to the well-being of people with disabilities.

Our members include people with disabilities, families, relatives, legal guardians, supporters, employees, and friends.

We are committed to ensuring that all people can participate everywhere.

Our association supports people in determining their own lives and actively participating in society.

As an employer, we employ full-time and volunteer staff who represent and act in accordance with the goals of Lebenshilfe.

We support each other and work together to achieve our goals.

We promote and nurture intergenerational cooperation.

We protect our environment and act in a resource-conscious and sustainable manner.

As a strong community, we represent our interests in social and political areas.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Lebenshilfe’s fundamental program, and our mission statement guide our actions.

We feel responsible for the implementation and further development of our mission statement:
