Stronger communities

Belonging to a community helps shape us as individuals, build relationships, and provides a sense of belonging. Therefore, it is important that from an early age, we have the opportunity to choose from a wide range of leisure activities, so everyone can find something that suits them.

A safe upbringing is not only found in schools and daycare centers. It is also in the voluntary activities where children and young people spend time that a safe upbringing makes a difference. Therefore, there must be room for diversity, so it is safe to be different, but also so that children and young people are not excluded from a community. Therefore, associations must be strengthened so that they can also provide the tools to ensure a good community in a safe space.

A well-established association life in the municipality is one of the main reasons why young people return home after completing their studies. Therefore, an investment in a healthy association life is an investment in the future.

In Herning Municipality, we are already very good at supporting sports – we must become just as good at supporting other voluntary associations and the dedicated individuals who carry out the great voluntary work.
