As a part of agreements with the local municipality, the clients transformed a neglected area into a serene community space, which they now maintain. The probation house actively works with about ten local businesses to meet the community’s demand for skilled workers in sectors such as gastronomy, construction industry and woodworking industry. They also collaborate with a nearby therapeutic community for women and children, where they perform support tasks and occasionally share communal dinners, promoting mutual support and integration.
