Eurodiaconia is a European federation of organizations, institutions and churches providing social and health services from a Christian value base. Eurodiaconia members are serving people with needs – people with mental health needs, debt counselling needs, medical or emotional needs, housing needs and much more. Today, meeting people's needs through diaconal work is increasingly professionalized, however professional staff are complemented by what we estimate as being over 500 000 volunteers across our membership. Our focus in 2011 will be the role of volunteering in building social cohesion and we will be publishing 'a Picture of Volunteering in Diaconia' with the aim to celebrate volunteering in diaconia.
