I don't want to give a speech at the beginning of the year, I want to talk to people.

I wish all Tyroleans the best and good health for 2024,” explains LH Succumb to his intentions. “As a state governor, social peace in our country is very important to me. Tyrol's landscape and the risk of natural disasters have taught us to help each other when things get tough. We must uphold this great value.
“In our daily work at Caritas, we see both the strengths and the dark sides of Tyrol. We enjoy people in need and a great desire to help Tyroleans.

LH Mattel gives an overview and also highlights the volunteer work active in Tyrol: “The state of Tyrol is proud and grateful to the many volunteers who strive for the common good every day. Their achievements are invaluable and they deserve the utmost respect.
“Currently more than 100,000 people live below the poverty line in Tyrol. Especially these people are very important to us as Caritas and therefore we need strong efforts again in the new year to provide better support. Especially regarding the topic of housing. A joint effort is necessary here to reduce the burden of people. At the same time, we in Tyrol We rely on many volunteers, without whom comprehensive assistance would not be possible. At this time, I would like to thank all the people in our country who are committed to volunteering,” said Director Rathcap.
