Services
The concrete services of the initiatives or organizations. The services are sorted into comparable types (e.g. social counseling), these types are again divided into categories for the sake of clarity (e.g. counseling).
We have added descriptions for these categories. The types have been explained in more detail only where there is ambiguity or risk of confusion.
All offers are free of charge, on donation or in exceptional cases at a fixed solidary price. Forms of cost-coverage by e.g. welfare programs are listed, if they aim at counteracting social exclusions. Offers covered by regular health or care insurances and other insurances as well as all profit-oriented offers are not part of Iniradar.
