Mrs Bosch* (84) from Zundert tries to remain as independent as possible despite her health and physical condition. Unfortunately, not everything can be done yourself, but with a (one-off) helping hand and tackling some things together, it can be done. It is purely about practical requests for help from the lady, for her it does not have to be a social occasion. There are several jobs, but the lady is open to the fact that the jobs can also be divided and carried out by several people. Even if you choose 1 job or task, you will make the lady happy! 1. Shopping (together). Consider getting a cart or basket and pushing it. The lady knows which groceries she needs. These are often small messages. 2. Fill up with petrol in Belgium (together). Consider placing the hose. You can possibly drive together in her car; so she can pay herself afterwards. 3. Take garbage bags to the depot near her home. She can no longer carry the full garbage bags herself. This can be done once/on a structural basis at an agreed time. Or if you live nearby you can and want to take hers with you. 4. take away glass. 5. one-off chores around the house when she has something; think of replacing a lamp, removing something from a higher shelf. One option is that she can save certain chores if that suits her better. Do one or more chores appeal to you? This can be one-off, structural or once in a while. Dividing chores is certainly also possible. When? That doesn't matter to Mrs. This can be done in consultation. Time? Since the lady needs time to get ready in the morning, early in the morning is not a good time, but everything else can be done in consultation. End of the morning, afternoon or evening. *fictitious name

Mobility consultant

Monthly · 1 to 5 hours
Surplus Welzijn Zundert

Show someone the ropes on public transport Do you ever travel by bus or train? And would you like to explain to people how they can use public transport? Then become a Mobility Consultant! What does a Mobility Consultant do? If someone in your village or city comes to your municipality with a transport question, the municipality can refer that person to you. You then make an appointment together, for example at this person's home, where you explore together what his or her personal transport needs look like. You then provide advice about local transport options that he or she can use. It may happen that a person seeking help would like to take a first bus ride with you to experience how everything practically works. Each mobility consultant has free bus tickets (trial tickets) for this purpose. The next time he/she can take a bus trip independently. People with a transportation need are often seniors who are not very familiar with public transport. But it can also be young people with an intellectual disability who would like to travel independently, but find it difficult to travel from home to school by public transport, for example. Who are we looking for? It is important that you are someone who can listen well and ask specific questions so that you get a good idea of a person's transport needs. In addition, it is nice for the person seeking help that you radiate calm and have patience. It often happens that you have to explain something several times before it is really understood. training As a new mobility consultant, you will receive a short 1-day training so that you are well prepared for your task, knowledge and skills. Takes little time - but great results! Being a mobility consultant is far from intensive. Every now and then you are approached by the municipality to help someone get started on public transport. The nice thing is that you achieve a good result in a short time, which is very satisfying. After your explanation, that person can now travel independently, visit different places, experience new things and remain socially active. Research shows that all of this is super important to stay healthy both mentally and physically.
