We support the people who make things happen  

For this to work, in addition to the roughly 100 active members and 40 supporting members, a fair amount of infrastructure is also required. Two staff members employed at the office handle the bookkeeping and administration, whilst two federal volunteers look after the office in the Caritas-Pirckheimer-Haus. 

We at Kaltwasser are supporting the Bluepingu association directly with our 2023 Christmas donation, so that the enablers have a little more leeway for essential purchases and new ideas. Because: without a sponsor, there are no projects! 

A breeding ground for sustainable projects 

Founded in 2009, the association is committed to initiatives such as food and resource conservation (neighbourhood gardens, raised beds for the ‘Edible City’, collective processing of rescued food) and mobility (cargo bikes for all, mobile bicycle workshops). The Pingus raise local awareness of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); ‘SDGs go local’ recently organised the painting of SDG 16 on a transformer station with refugees, under the guidance of an artist). Numerous projects initiated here have since become independent and are now standing on their own two feet (Halle für alle e.V., Foodsharing, Zukunftsräume e.V.) or are currently in the process of doing so (Nürnberger Weltacker).
