Hand in hand against addiction: NDR is starting a big charity campaign in 2025!

Why not do something good and have the chance to win great prizes at the same time? The NDR charity campaign “Hand in Hand for Northern Germany” will take place from December 3rd to 23rd, 2025, under the promising motto “Life without addiction”. In collaboration with the Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband, this campaign supports people in difficult situations who are struggling with addictions. 100% of the proceeds from the campaign will go to projects that directly help these people. This is a win-win situation!

Particularly exciting: You can win great prizes during the promotional period. Week after week, prizes will be raffled off among donors, including the Golden N-JOY Ticket in the first week, which gives access to five top-class concerts in 2026 - a total of two tickets per concert. All you have to do is donate any amount and submit proof of donation. Every cent counts, so get to the keys and start donating!

A ray of hope for those affected

The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of addictions and reduce prejudices. With over eight million people affected in Germany, addictions are a widespread issue. The Paritätische Wohlfahrtsverband, supported by around 2,000 member organizations in northern Germany, is in the process of bringing the issue into focus and providing better support to affected people and their families. A big donation day is also on the program on December 12, 2025 - a real show day for everyone who wants to work for the well-being of others. Reports the equals.

In recent years, the NDR charity campaign has already raised an impressive 51 million euros for charitable purposes. The projects that benefit from these donations are diverse. One example is the multifunctional sports field at the Haus Braunschweig dormitory, which is intended to help residents experience positive emotions away from addictive substances. Facility manager Florian Schoenrock emphasizes how important protected spaces are for the people who are supported in the projects.

How donations and help are achieved

There are numerous ways to get involved in the campaign. Donations can be made easily using an online form or directly into the official donation account of the Paritätischen Gesamtverband e.V. The IBAN is DE90 201 205 200 500 600 700, and the bank is the Sozialbank. Data security is a top priority: the sensitive data in the donation receipt is only needed for verification and then deleted immediately. This is what NDR reports.

In addition, the addiction support services of the facilities that operate under the umbrella of the Federal Association for Addiction Help e.V. offer both inpatient and outpatient support. Regardless of whether it is alcohol, illegal drugs or even internet usage disorders - there are comprehensive offers that are tailored to the individual needs of those affected.Information about this and much more can be found on the addiction help website.
