Mattering means something to both!

Weekly · 1 to 3 hours

Mattering does something positive, for you and for others. Being there for someone gives you and the other person the feeling that you matter. There are walking buddies, buddies who come by to chat and have a drink. Buddies who make others laugh. Fun and personal contact are paramount. As a buddy you make someone else and your own life more fun. Do you want to be there for someone else? Sign In! Regards, Krista Vitis Welzijn is committed to a vital society in the Westland region.

Meaningful contact

Weekly · 2 to 3 hours

Would you also like to enlarge the world for someone else by being there for the other. This through meaningful contact in which you matter to the other person and to yourself. We have different types of volunteers (buddies) who come to their buddies (clients) for a walk, to drink a cup of coffee, to run a small errand, to cook together, to relieve the carer. Volunteers who are there for the other through meaningful contact in which we look together at what you want and can do. Do you have time for a chat or to do something fun together. If you want to be there for the other, please let me know by responding to this message. We at the Buddy Network Foundation try to help as many people as possible. Will you also help and join our team of volunteers. We also welcome students who need a social internship within our team. Sincerely, Jolanda
