This is a balance list from the Skärholmen District Administration, detailing various ongoing assignments the board will address during the spring of 2026. These assignments include matters such as escort services, the reintroduction of the 127 Festival, measures against begging at ATMs, safety in areas like Skärholmen and Bredäng, and the expansion of the disc golf course in Sätraskogen.

The minutes document a steering group meeting for the "Skärholmen Together" initiative, which aims to provide meaningful and active leisure opportunities for children and youth in Skärholmen. Discussions included challenges in finding premises for Project Playground, the launch of after-school activities at schools, and "Winter Camp" featuring try-it-out activities from associations and the library. Responsibility for the initiative will be transferred to the Individual and Family department within the district administration.

The minutes from the Skärholmen Senior Citizens' Council meeting on February 12, 2026, indicate that information was provided on upcoming spring activities for seniors. A new training program for healthcare assistants, developed in collaboration with the Red Cross Folk High School, was also presented to enhance expertise in healthcare and social care. The council also discussed the 2025 activity report, which included initiatives such as LGBTQI meeting places, IT security training, and "Cycling Without Age."

The minutes detail a meeting with the council for disability issues in the districts of Hägersten-Älvsjö and Skärholmen. Topics discussed included a ten-year housing plan for people with disabilities and strategies to increase their participation in elections. Additionally, Hägersten-Älvsjö will take over a group home for deafblind individuals and renovate a supported living facility, while Skärholmen plans to open a new supported living facility with twelve apartments in 2027 and launch a mobile social services unit.

The Inspectorate of Healthcare and Social Welfare (IVO) reviewed the Skärholmen district council and found deficiencies in how they handle cases for children and young people, including checks before child placements, handling of reported concerns, and the municipality's own quality control. The Skärholmen district council has since reported the measures they have taken and plan, which IVO deems sufficient to address the deficiencies and has therefore closed the case, though the municipality must continue its quality work and evaluate the effects of the measures.

The City of Stockholm and the Red Cross Folk High School in Skärholmen have signed a cooperation agreement for the years 2026-2027. The goal is to strengthen residents' trust in society and increase knowledge about social support services, particularly for parents and young adults in Skärholmen, Sätra, Bredäng, and Vårberg. The collaboration will include offering parenting courses, civic orientation, senior activities, and competence development in elderly care.

The Skärholmen district council will select a new alternate member for its pensioners' council. Lena Renner, nominated by SPF Seniorerna, is proposed for election until December 31, 2026. This appointment will ensure the council has full representation from pensioners' organizations, enabling it to better advocate for seniors' interests.

The Skärholmen District Council has updated its delegation of authority, changing the rules for who can make various decisions within Skärholmen's social services. This ongoing update adjusts legal references and clarifies processes for data protection, information security, and handling Lex Sarah and Lex Maria cases. While some decisions can now be made at a lower level, the council retains the right to decide on matters concerning personal integrity, such as paternity investigations and custody transfers.

The Skärholmen District Committee has decided to designate fifteen named officials who can request police assistance in cases involving the care of children and young people under the Care of Young Persons Act (LVU) and the Act on Placement in Protected Accommodation. This measure aims to ensure swift implementation of necessary interventions, such as when a guardian opposes a decision. This new decision replaces previous similar authorizations.

This document is the Skärholmen District Committee's activity report for 2025, reviewing the year's budget utilization and operational performance. The report provides a detailed analysis of the committee's financial outcomes and investments, including addressing deficits in certain preschool units through action plans. The committee also assessed its internal control as sufficient for the year and outlines ongoing innovation initiatives in preschools, LSS activities, and youth recreation in Skärholmen.

The Skärholmen District Committee is allocating a total of SEK 125,000 in grants to associations for district days in 2026. Four associations will receive funding: Stockholms Stadsmission (Vårberg, SEK 25,000), Drömstort (Sätra, SEK 25,000), Svensk-Azerbajdzjanska kulturföreningen (Skärholmen, SEK 50,000), and Jakobsbergs gård (Bredäng, SEK 25,000). These grants are intended for open events that promote community, culture, and activities for residents.

The Skärholmen District Council has decided to allocate grants for community activities in 2026. A total of 22 associations have been awarded grants amounting to SEK 398,890. These funds are intended for activities that strengthen community, promote integration, democracy, equality, and safety for residents in Bredäng, Sätra, Skärholmen, and Vårberg, with a particular focus on newly arrived women and girls, as well as children and young people.

The Moderate Party has submitted a motion to the municipal council proposing to make cycling in Stockholm safer and better. They advocate for improved coordination between different modes of transport, clearer signage, better maintenance of cycle paths, and more bicycle parking, aiming for a total of 10,000 new locking posts. The Skärholmen District Administration supports the proposal to enhance cycling conditions, even though most Skärholmen residents are already satisfied with cyclist safety and accessibility, emphasizing the importance of continuous improvements for both climate and public health.

The motion proposes that the Stockholm City Council initiate a pilot project for a "citizen budget," allowing residents to decide how a portion of municipal funds are used to reduce social inequalities. While similar projects have succeeded in cities like Paris and Lund, the Skärholmen district administration believes a pilot is unnecessary as most districts already employ this approach, citing Skärholmen's own successful citizen budget in 2025 where residents voted on fruit tree and berry bush plantings in Bredängsparken.

Stockholm City is revising its food strategy to promote good health, reduce climate impact, and strengthen food preparedness. The Skärholmen District Council supports the proposal but foresees challenges in adapting diets in elderly care, as residents often prefer traditional home-style cooking. The Council for the Elderly requests an elderly impact assessment and stresses the importance of residents receiving familiar food, on-site food preparation in elderly care, and staff receiving cooking training.

The Moderates, Centre Party, and Liberals have proposed establishing a business council in Skärholmen to boost the local business climate and enhance safety. The administration agrees on the importance of local business but suggests waiting for the establishment of four new business development officers for all of Stockholm, one of whom will work in Skärholmen, to coordinate efforts more effectively.

The Centre Party, Moderates, Liberals, and Sweden Democrats in Skärholmen inquired about training for staff on how to act during active shooter situations (PDV) and how the safety of both employees and politicians is ensured. The Skärholmen district administration responded that they have procedures for handling threats and violence, and that they are participating in a city-wide procurement process for PDV training. They are also open to discussing training for the district committee's politicians.

A citizen proposed building a hobby horse obstacle course on the green space at Sätravarvsvägen 41, near the Sätra Riding Arena. The administration welcomes the idea, believing it could encourage play and physical activity among children and young people. The matter has been forwarded to the sports administration to be handled with relevant stakeholders.

A citizen proposal was submitted to the Skärholmen district council with nine suggestions to improve the inclusion of children with neuropsychiatric disabilities (NPD) in preschools and social services. The proposal includes staff training, adapted facilities, and better interaction. The district administration believes that several of the suggestions are already covered by existing work on accessibility and participation, but agrees on the importance of competence development and adaptations being made based on the specific needs of the operations. Individual education plans will be established to ensure staff have the right knowledge.

The protocol from Skarpnäck District Council's Pensioner Council shows that elderly issues are addressed, including home care and patient safety in nursing homes. The council supports proposals on winter road maintenance and traffic safety, but calls for better accessibility for the elderly and coordination of efforts. They also express concern about how a revised food strategy might affect the elderly.
