🏢 About the local organisation
Hertha Bofællesskaber og Værksteder (HBV) er stiftet i 1996 som socialøkonomisk virksomhed, der har til formål at sikre gode levevilkår for voksne udviklingshæmmede. HBV er indlejret i Hertha Levefællesskab, hvor der bor 150 mennesker i alle aldre, hvoraf de 27 er udviklingshæmmede. Landsbyens formål er at fremme integration af hæmmede medborgere i samfundet, hvilket sker dels gennem boligformen, dels gennem de værksteder, som HBV driver som beskyttede værksteder for de hæmmede, som fremstiller en række produkter til landsbyen og det omgivende samfund, herunder bageri, landbrug, mejeri og gartneri.
