Since 2005, a duo from the Cologne Clinic Clowns has been visiting young patients at the children’s hospital in Gummersbach once a week. The hospital clowns’ performances help to ease pain and anxiety and distract the children from everyday hospital life. The performances are particularly beneficial for traumatized children from war and crisis zones. The foundation supported with a one-off donation at a time when there was a reduction in small private donations.

Running pleasure for young and old
Every year, the city run encourages young and old to lace up their running shoes and participate. All Wipperfürth schools participate in the community project of the Engelbert von Berg High School and the Leichtathletik Gemeinschaft Wipperfürth (Wipperfürth athletics). In addition, a charity run raises money for a non-profit cause. The Hans Hermann Voss Foundation above all supports the enjoyment of running for youth: Medals are awarded to everybody participating in the student and child runs, jerseys are given to the children, and the school with the most participants is also awarded.
