The Innocence Order was founded in 1765 in the spirit of the liberal movements. Today, the Order has two goals: to conduct charitable activities and to gather its members for the Order Chapter with a Grand Reception on the celebration of the Order's feast day, Solenne Dag.
For a few years, the Order has supported two charitable projects with a focus on children, young people and seniors in socio-economically vulnerable situations. The recipients of the support are the Scouts and Elderlyconnections.
Being able to offer an opportunity for children, young people and seniors who do not have financial resources to participate in various activities that promote social togetherness is a high priority for the Order's members. Such social togetherness reduces the risk of, among other things, mental illness and exclusion in our local community (Sweden). In addition, it is important for the Order to collaborate with actors where we can measure concrete results, who have financial transparency and traceability and who have a solid interest in developing a successful collaboration with the Innocence Order.
The Order has limited resources but looks positively at our members' opportunities to strengthen these resources for charity in the coming years.
BACKGROUND TO THE ORDER'S DECISION / SCOUTES: The Scouts give over 68,000 children and young people from all parts of society the chance to experience adventures together and grow as individuals with our 1100 scout crimes throughout Sweden. Sweden faces major challenges and several of them are urgent to resolve. Children and young people are all worse and thousands of new arrivals will find a place and security in a new home country. The Scouts actively work for integration and diversity, in order for all leisure activities to be safe, free of abuse and abuse, and to develop children's and young people's leadership. Every day, every day, our leaders meet children and young people at scout meetings, camps and sharks, all children and young people are welcome to be part of the community. For those who do not have financial opportunities, there is money to apply for the Scouts Support Fund for membership fees and equipment. On the other hand, there is a great need to find funding for scholarships for children without financial opportunities who want to participate in camps and camps, as our goal is for all children who want to be part of what Scouterna offers. www.scouterna.se
BACKGROUND TO THE ORDER'S DECISION / ELDERLYCONNECTIONS: Olderkontakt has more than 360 guests who are helped by more than 500 volunteers in Greater Stockholm, Gothenburg and surrounding areas, Malmö, Uppsala, Västerås, Eskilstuna and Borås. By supporting our work with the existing groups as well as our growth work, you are helping more and more elderly people out of the loneliness. The members of the organization may in future (2018-) sign up as volunteer candidates and those who are in charge of the Elderconnections mission will be given the opportunity to participate in the activities themselves. Elderlyconnections grows with around 10-15 groups of friends annually and works to establish us in new places.
