The Association of German Social Welfare Organisations (BAGFW) in Brussels
 

The role of the BAGFW is to represent the top six German Social Welfare Organisations collectively - at both national and European level. The BAGFW’s member organisations are the Workers' Welfare Association, the German Caritas Association, the German Red Cross, the PARITÄTISCHE, the Diakonie Germany and the Central Welfare Organisation of Jews in Germany.

The BAGFW's EU office has been active in the heart of Brussels since 1989. Since then, its main task has been to coordinate the activities of the EU policy officers of the six German Social Welfare Organisations . Among other things, the EU office informs the BAGFW member organisations about new developments in EU legislation and represents their interests through joint position papers, contributions to EU consultations and expert political discussions with relevant EU decision-makers. The focus lies on EU funding policy, EU state aid and public procurement law, social entrepreneurship and all socio-political developments in EU policy. The EU office also supports the BAGFW membership in the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC).
