Croix-Rouge fribourgeoise

The Fribourg Red Cross is a community-focused organization serving people throughout the canton of Fribourg, regardless of age, origin or personal circumstances. Guided by social support and solidarity, it helps people at different stages of life through practical services, advice, training and opportunities to connect.

Its support for older people and caregivers includes home visits, accompanied meals, transport, telephone support, technology assistance and alarm systems. Families can access parenting support, childcare and babysitting services, while people with migration experience can take part in language and integration workshops, including French and German courses bearing the fide label. The organization also provides social support and activities for children, seniors and other community members.

The Fribourg Red Cross offers courses in health, social care, early childhood, migration and integration, with options for professionals, volunteers and the wider public. Its Zig-Zag shops and textile collection support local social initiatives, and its volunteers help with transport, visits, events and language learning.
