Daily update: SPD group in Osnabrück advocates for healthcare for the homeless
In the heart of Osnabrück, a new initiative is taking shape to address the urgent need for medical care among the city's homeless population. The Mobile Street Ambulance project, which is set to launch in 2026, is the result of a collaborative effort between the Bürgerstiftung Osnabrück, SKM, and local key figures within the SPD faction.
A key supporter of this initiative is Susanne Hambüger dos Reis, the SPD faction leader in Osnabrück and a registered nurse working full-time. Alongside Timo Spreen, the 'cabbage king' of the SPD faction, Hambüger dos Reis donated a substantial sum of 700 Euros to the cause, collected during the SPD faction's traditional cabbage dinner.
The Mobile Street Ambulance will be driven by volunteer doctors, nurses, and therapists, and will be equipped with medical facilities. Its primary goal is to provide much-needed medical care to homeless and displaced individuals in Osnabrück. The city's SPD faction leader's support for the project extends beyond financial contributions, as Hambüger dos Reis plans to personally support the ambulance regularly.
Hambüger dos Reis, along with Spreen, also aims to gain a firsthand understanding of the situation and the specific needs on site. The plan is for the Mobile Street Ambulance to be able to drive to fixed locations two to three days a week.
The Bürgerstiftung Osnabrück and SKM are instrumental in the planning and launch of the project, with the city of Osnabrück also playing a role in its implementation. The Mobile Street Ambulance is expected to significantly improve the medical care available to homeless people in Osnabrück.
If you are interested in getting involved or supporting the Mobile Street Ambulance project, it would be best to consult local official sources such as Osnabrück city websites, local NGOs, social services, or community organizations working with homeless populations. These organizations typically provide current project updates and volunteer opportunities.
The Mobile Street Ambulance project is receiving ongoing support from key figures within the SPD faction in Osnabrück, and will be used by the homeless aid organization in Osnabrück once it is launched in 2026. Dr. Cornelia Völckers, Timo Spreen, Susanne Hambüger dos Reis, and Heinz Hermann Flint are depicted in the main image, symbolizing the collective effort towards a more compassionate Osnabrück.
