A queer-sensitive everyday assistance service for Berlin – personal, reliable and with attitude.
We officially launched AlleFarben Everyday Help in February. A lot has happened since then: We now support over 50 clients, have built a dedicated team, and have been recognized by the Berlin Senate as a service under Section 45a of the Social Code (SGB XI). Last weekend, the time finally came – we celebrated our opening. A special moment that we were able to share with guests from politics, culture, care, and the community.
🌈 A place full of encounters and appreciation
The celebration took place in the inviting spaces of We Are Village – an open, creative, and queer safe space in the heart of Berlin. The warm atmosphere, the shared laughter, the intense conversations: All of this demonstrated what happens when people come together with attitude and heart. It wasn't just a celebration – it was a powerful signal for visibility, solidarity, and change in the care world.
💬 Panel & audience in dialogue
A special moment of the evening was the panel discussion, which we deliberately designed as an open exchange—not only with invited guests on the panel, but also with the audience . Many attendees contributed, asked questions, and provided input. It became clear how great the interest in queer-sensitive care is—but also how many challenges still lie ahead.
This dialogue is essential for us: We don't want to design offers over people's heads, but with the community, from the community, for the community .
👥 Who celebrated with us
Celebrating with us included:
A special greeting came from Dr. Ina Czyborra, Senator for Science, Health and Care. She praised our work as an "important contribution to a diverse and solidarity-based urban society."
🏳️🌈 What we stand for
AlleFarben is more than just a service offering. We create spaces where people feel safe and respected – regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, lifestyle, HIV status, or past history.
For us, the following applies:
✅ No images need to be hidden
✅ No one has to say “neighbor” instead of “partner”
✅ No hesitation when it comes to queer identity or a positive HIV status – neither among clients nor within the team
We want queer people—as well as HIV-positive people, who often experience multiple discrimination—to not become invisible, even as they age or need support. Instead, we want them to feel safe, supported, and seen. And we want to create a work environment that protects, empowers, and encourages queer employees.
🔭 What we're up to
We're just getting started. In the coming months, we want to:
establish new collaborations,
promote targeted training in diversity-sensitive care
and use our political voice to promote greater security of healthcare provision for queer and HIV-positive people.
🙏 Thank you!
A big thank you to our network, my wonderful team and especially to my husband for the strong support during this intensive start-up period.
We're looking forward to everything that's to come—and especially to many good encounters with you. ✨
