The festive season is a time to pause and bring joy to others. In 2025, the noventic group once again took up this idea and participated in the ‘Aktion Tannenbaum’ organised by the ‘Der Hafen hilft!’ association – an initiative that fulfils small and large heartfelt wishes for people in social institutions.

Our colleagues took on numerous wish lists and transformed them into lovingly wrapped gifts over the past few weeks. This commitment was complemented by monetary donations, which – as in previous years – were matched by the management. We were thus able to not only fulfil individual wishes, but also bring joy with ‘Christmas bags’ full of food and festive treats.

‘Der Hafen hilft!’ supports people in various social institutions, including women's shelters, homeless shelters and children's and youth residential groups. Personal wish lists make it possible to fulfil very individual heartfelt wishes – from urgently needed everyday items to small gifts for family or friends.

Delivered just in time for Christmas, the gifts fulfilled the wish lists and brought many festive, joyful moments.

‘Aktion Tannenbaum’ has become a firm fixture in the noventic group's pre-Christmas calendar. Year after year, our colleagues demonstrate the spirit of solidarity, compassion and commitment that exists within our company through their participation. Together, we help to make Christmas a little brighter and warmer for many people.
