State Working Group for Self-Help of Disabled People Bremen eV (LAGS)

Under the umbrella of the State Working Group for Self-Help of Disabled People Bremen eV (LAGS), over 30 self-help associations of disabled and chronically ill people and their relatives from Bremen and Bremerhaven have joined together.
