Chat Buddies is a great idea to help newcomers learn to speak our difficult language, just by having a good chat! Bastiaan linked me to one of the many coaches who actually bring about the match and who are the first point of contact for both 'parties' in case of questions or problems. I am very curious who my chat buddy will be and how the contact will suit each other. Paul

Are you there for informal care mother Ellen?

Monthly · 2 to 4 hours

Together with a PGB team, she offers her daughter with an intellectual disability and autism closeness and attention.

Participants for the UWV client council

Monthly · 2 to 20 hours

WANTED: participants for the UWV client council 📣 WHY THE CLIENT COUNCIL? The benefits working group wondered: "What are some ways we can stand up for the interests of Lyme patients even more and more broadly?" This led to the idea of having a Lyme patient on all UWV client councils (eleven spread across the country) who can represent us and stand up for the interests of Lyme patients. The client council provides solicited and unsolicited input with UWV and provides advice. By fighting together with others for a better UWV policy, you can occasionally contribute something that will benefit tens of thousands of people in the future. Over the past two years we have done a lot of recruitment to set up this project, but there has been no success yet due to a lack of registrations. Will you help us have real influence within the UWV? More information about the client council can be found here: [website hidden] [website hidden] Clientenparticipatie-[phone number hidden](1).pdf 💪 WHAT WILL YOU DO: Participate on behalf of yourself and the association in the meetings of the UWV client council. You make known the experiences of yourself and other Lyme patients regarding policy, so that solutions can also be found. You also meet about the experiences that others have around the UWV. Meet with the Lyme Association about action points and, together with the benefits working group, look at which action points are important. Providing solicited and unsolicited advice to the UWV and thinking about how they can improve their service. 🙋 WHO CAN PARTICIPATE? Anyone who: Is busy with the UWV application or objection procedure Have a UWV benefit. Has a UWV facility. Is registered as a job seeker with the UWV. 💚 WE ARE LOOKING FOR YOU IF: have Lyme and have to deal with the UWV, but have already processed these experiences to some extent so that a constructive conversation can take place. You can raise the interests of Lyme patients, but you can also look at the interests of others in the client council. Are able to read, understand and test documents. Are willing to take training. Are able to travel to meetings (transport can be arranged by the UWV). Often in your own region, but occasionally at a central point in the country are available 2 days a week 💬 VOLUNTEERS EXPERIENCE: “I can sit on the couch and sulk about that stupid UWV, or I can work so that other people don't run into the same things.” “In many cases, the UWV actually does something with our input. So you really make a difference, from within!” 💚 WHAT CAN WE OFFER YOU? 1️⃣ Interesting volunteer work that allows you to make a positive impact. 2️⃣ Guidance by experienced volunteers so you can always turn to someone for help and advice. 3️⃣ You build a network and a lot of knowledge. 4️⃣ Volunteer allowance and expense reimbursement from the UWV that is not deducted from your benefit. 5️⃣ The experience you gain in the benefits working group looks great on your CV. 6️⃣ Possibility of training. ❔ INTEREST AND QUESTIONS Are you interested in or have questions about this position?

Coach/talking post for our residents

Weekly · 4 to 30 hours

Emmaus Domstad is a living-working community. We accommodate people who do not have a home and who have no alternative at the moment. They live with us and help us run the thrift stores. We finance the house with these shops. These people sometimes need help. We are looking for someone who wants to talk to them in the evenings or just during the day to see how they are doing and to help with the next step. Some residents do not speak the Dutch language very well, so knowledge of English is useful. Would you like to help our living-working community with this? You will find more information on our 'Emmausdomstad' site. But you can also call for more information (choose Parkwijk in the menu). Asking for Bram, Dennis or Jan is the most useful thing.
