Pleasant man 40+ wants to do something together

We are looking for a buddy (m) for a man over forty from Duivendrecht. The man has previously been linked to a buddy. He liked that. He can function well in everyday life, but he should not experience too much pressure from the environment. Working is therefore not an option. He is occasionally active as a volunteer and he occasionally sees and speaks to his mother and brother and a friend, who lives near him. Unfortunately, he has no other social environment, while he enjoys fun and entrepreneurship. “Any distraction is welcome,” he says. And that's why he wants a buddy with whom he can do something. To varying degrees he experiences a compulsive disorder, which means that he occasionally has an urge to perform a certain action. For example, he wants to stop for a moment during a walk instead of continuing to walk. If he is left there, the stress of the moment decreases and then he can continue walking as usual. He hopes for a buddy between thirty and sixty years old. He would like to do something together with a buddy. For example, take a walk, cycle a bit, go to a museum, play tennis, badminton or squash, have a nice coffee or something to eat somewhere. He enjoys studying history, especially the Second World War. And he enjoys watching documentaries about these topics on National Geographic. It would be nice if his buddy is also interested in these topics and if his buddy also likes animals, but that is not a requirement. He prefers to meet on Tuesday or Friday afternoon. Are you interested in becoming his buddy? Read below how that works. As a volunteer with the Roads Buddy project, we pair you with a regular participant: your buddy. We connect the participant and the volunteer based on, among other things, common interests. The function of this buddy contact is to break through or prevent social isolation for a participant with a psychological vulnerability by going out together. As a volunteer you provide distraction and a bit of fun. It is important that you are prepared to meet with your buddy once every fortnight for one year (longer is possible). Furthermore, you are prepared to enter into the encounter 'openly', without wanting to change the other person. That sometimes requires adaptability. Working hours: During the day or in the evening, during the week or at the weekend: all possible. If you become each other's buddy, you will meet once every two weeks for a period of one year. When and where you meet each other, you always decide in mutual consultation with your buddy. Intake procedure: Contact person Roads Maatjesproject: Jorise (Mon, Tue, Thu). Please feel free to contact us for an introductory meeting. If you definitively register as a volunteer, an interview will follow with a participant. After this conversation, you can indicate the next day whether you want to become a buddy couple. Yes = start contact. No = new conversation with another buddy.
