Eurodiaconia is a European network of churches and Christian NGOs providing social and health care services and advocating for social justice. Together our membership represents the needs and unique experiences of 58 national and regional organisations in 32 countries. Diakonia is Greek for service and in the biblical sense, this means service for and with people in need.
Members’ activities facilitate social cohesion and inclusion through diaconal education and provision of social and health services to young and old, people experiencing marginalisation, exclusion and poverty and situations of abuse. Eurodiaconia creates a platform for diaconal actors to facilitate trans-national networking. It also creates a link between the regional, national, and European levels, developing ideas and feeding into policies to combat social exclusion, isolation, poverty, injustice, and inequalities.
