- We are the largest city that does not have a City Mission, and why I do not know why, says Thomas Wärfman, pastor of the Church of Sweden in Norrköping.

He believes that there is a great need for this type of business because many people in vulnerable life situations cannot, or do not want, get help from the public sector

Location and staffing not clear

The church in Norrköping and the City Mission in Linköping have therefore talked for some time about establishing a department in Norrköping.

- We don't know the location or staffing yet. The plan is that during the year it should be noted that we have started our work.

There will be people employed, but at present there is no indication of how many. The establishment in Norrköping means the twelfth in the country.

- We should be a complement. We are now investigating how the establishment should go. Conditions are different here compared to Linköping. For example, municipalities' procurement of services looks different.

In the neighboring municipality, the City Mission has been running since 1972.
