Would you like to support us with doctor visits?

Are you really looking for a listening ear? Absolutely! Because you can never have enough listening ears! And besides a listening ear, it would also be nice if you live in the Geleen area and have a fair amount of patience. We are Lianne, Renate, Ilona and Stein and are looking for someone who can go to our appointments at the hospital, the GP or the dentist with us. Now you might think, this is a strange question. But if you know us, you will understand that we really need your help. And patience? Yes... as you may know yourself, consultation hours can sometimes run late and it can happen that we are in the waiting room a little longer than planned... But why do we need help? Because we can no longer go to a GP, hospital or dentist on our own. We all have a form of non-congenital brain injury. We no longer live at home but in a residential care centre in Geleen. Unfortunately, our carers cannot always come with us. That is why we are looking for someone who is flexible, has a driver's license and wants to assist us with the visits. It is quite important, because we also ask you to report the information from the (family) doctor to our supervisors. So that they are also informed. So do you live in Geleen and do you have a few hours a week to help us? We promise that we will let you know in time if we have to go somewhere. So you do not have to sit next to the phone 24 hours a day and always be available. Do you want to know more about what exactly we expect from you? Feel free to contact us without obligation. This concerns volunteer work. For some, it can be a step to work with people who sometimes need help. At SGL, we stand for equality. Everyone is equal in value. They may call you a volunteer*. But for us you are just Eva, Fatima, Iwona or Bram and we are just Maricelle, Isabelle and Ivo 😉. *As a volunteer at SGL, you are entitled to various regulations. You can use our compensation scheme. You will end up in a pleasant working environment and we have a care scheme. People with brain damage You may not be able to immediately imagine people with brain damage. We understand that. They are people just like you and me. It can happen to anyone. Due to an accident or illness, such as a stroke, you can suffer damage to your brain. We call that non-congenital brain damage (NAH). The consequences of non-congenital brain damage are often major, such as (partial) paralysis, a change in character, quickly becoming overstimulated, poor memory, no longer being able to speak (properly) and much more. This has a major impact, not only on the people it happens to, but also on their loved ones. Some people can no longer work or even live at home. SGL offers specialist care and support at home, in activity centres and at residential support centres and various services to help clients with NAH and their loved ones. As a volunteer, you are part of the team and therefore indispensable within SGL. Do you want to do something for others? Do you see opportunities where we can use your qualities?

Meerssen

Do you have 2 hours free on Thursday afternoon and do you like shopping? Edwin (51) is looking for someone who would like to go shopping with him in Bunde. I am Edwin, social, cheerful and I like to have a chat! I like structure and I will gladly tell you how you can help me. I know exactly what I want and what I need. In recent years, an older couple has helped me with my weekly shopping. Unfortunately, they are now elderly and can no longer do this. That is why I am looking for someone who can help me with my shopping from January 1, 2024. I will happily go with you, because I know exactly what I need. Why can't I do it myself? Well, I am in an electric wheelchair (which I can operate myself), but I am on a ventilator. That can sometimes give people the impression that I need a lot of help, I understand that, but if you are not scared of it, then we are a good match! The shopping centre is within walking distance (1 km), so that will be fine if you walk with me. I know a lot about music, travelling and I often watch films. So if you are also a fan, we already have that in common. How nice! Oh yes, we do ask something of you... because I need ventilation, we offer you a ventilation course. If you already have that, that is of course great. Finally, if you are interested, you will be called a volunteer*. But I am just Edwin and your name is probably just Anne, Fatima, Henk or Jasper.

Does a beautiful harmony or fanfare concert make your heart beat faster? Do you play in it yourself or are you a conductor? Do you also have a lot of patience, are you confident and are you sociable? Nico (65) is looking for someone with whom he can share his passion. He has always been a conductor and likes to play the piano. He would like to make music with someone or exchange experiences during a walk. Nico is looking for someone who, in addition to music, also has an affinity with social care. Because even though notes and music hold no secrets for him, his brain can sometimes let him down, which makes him frustrated every now and then. Are you confident and do you know that he does not mean this personally! Then we are looking for you! A few years ago, Nico had a stroke. As a result, his brain no longer works as he would like. This also affects his speech, which is sometimes frustrating. Now you may think, wow, that's quite something, and that's true, but Nico is just Nico! We know from experience that if someone can spend more time with Nico and then also share his love for music, Nico will make progress. Not only in his speech but also in general. Sharing passions together and being among people is good for everyone. Will you use your talent to help Nico forward? Or are you in doubt? Feel free to contact us. Then we can see together whether we can use your talents. By the way, this concerns volunteer work. The day and times are of course in consultation. For some, it can be a step to work with people who need help. At SGL, we stand for equality. Everyone is equal in value. They may call you a volunteer*. But to us you are just Eva, Fatima, Iwona or Bram and Nico is just Nico😉. *As a volunteer at SGL you are entitled to various schemes. You can make use of our compensation scheme. You will end up in a nice working environment and we have a attention scheme. People with acquired brain injury (ABI) You may not be able to immediately imagine people with brain injury. We understand that. They are people just like you and me. It can happen to anyone. An accident or illness, such as a stroke, can cause damage to your brain. We call that acquired brain injury (ABI). The consequences of acquired brain injury are often significant, such as (partial) paralysis, a change in character, becoming overstimulated quickly, poor memory, not being able to speak (properly) and much more. This has a major impact, not only on the people it happens to, but also on their loved ones. Some people can no longer work or even live at home. SGL offers specialist care and support at home, in activity centres and at residential support centres and various services to help clients with ABI and their loved ones. As a volunteer, you are part of the team and therefore indispensable within SGL. Do you want to do something for others? Do you see opportunities somewhere where we can use your qualities? Then definitely get in touch with us. We will give you the right baggage to support our clients as independently as possible.

Do you like football and walking? Do you often watch a match alone now but would you like to watch it with someone? Ruud (40) is a cheerful man, a real sociable person who likes to watch a football match together. But that is not always possible. That is why he is looking for a buddy who shares this passion. Now you might think what a strange question. Then Ruud just goes to a café in the neighborhood? But unfortunately Ruud has acquired brain injury (ABI). As a result, he has difficulty speaking and can no longer walk long distances. For long distances, Ruud is dependent on a push wheelchair. He can really enjoy going outside and feeling free. He also prefers to walk short distances himself. Are you now thinking, this could be something for me? And do you live in the Velden area? Then contact us without obligation! And come and have a chat with Ruud. If you get along well, you will make Ruud very happy. He is available on Wednesday afternoon for a walk and a chat. And if there was also football on TV, it would be a great afternoon! Ruud lives at a residential location of SGL. For some, it can be a step to work with people who sometimes need help. We understand that. But know that before Ruud also did everything on his own. So he is just like you, only he can no longer go for a walk on his own. By the way, this is volunteer work. At SGL we stand for equality. Everyone is equal in value. They may call you a volunteer*. But for us you are just Sibran, Erik, Jannie or Peggy and Ruud is just Ruud 😉. *As a volunteer at SGL you are entitled to various regulations. You may be entitled to an expense allowance.

Are you the person most people say ‘you are a really good listener’. And not the quiet type who takes it easy but the enterprising one who likes to go out and certainly by bike? Do you have 1 or 2 hours to spare once or twice a week. In the evenings or on a Friday or Monday? Then think of our cheerful, sweet and talkative Barbara (51). She is looking for someone who wants to go cycling with her. She lives in Velden. Someone who makes time for her. Puts her first and genuinely enjoys listening to her. Barbara used to work in the catering industry, which she still likes to talk about. And she is creative, she likes painting and clay. But why is she looking for a cycling buddy? Unfortunately, Barbara cannot cycle alone and needs a little help now and then. She has acquired a non-congenital brain injury (NAH) and lives at a residential location of SGL. For some, it can be a step to work with people who sometimes need help. We understand that. But know that before Barbara suffered brain damage, she did everything herself.

Do you have a few hours free on Thursday? Would you like to chat or go for a walk? Then we, Arno (74), Janet (74), Pascal (51), Eshter (54) and Yvonne (57) are looking for you! We like it when someone has some time for us. Time to listen to our stories, have a nice chat about everything and anything. Or who sometimes goes for a walk with someone. Just get some fresh air. Because let's be honest, that's good for everyone! A number of us are dependent on a wheelchair. So a little powerhouse is needed. Now we won't be walking for hours or conquering mountains. But it is good to know. Patience is also a plus. Some of us have a short-term memory and then it can happen that we just forget something. Or tell something twice. So if we call you Ans when you have Carolien, don't take it personally 😉. By the way, if you want to come by more often than just on Thursdays, that's also possible. We're always up for a chat. You don't have to just listen to us. We love good stories! Are you thinking, maybe this is something for me? Then come and meet us without obligation. We live in Doenrade.

Are you social, do you love nature, can you appreciate classical music? Would you like to walk with someone, have a good conversation? Do you have 2 hours of free time twice a month? And do you live in the Weert area? Then read on. Because Johan (62) is looking for someone who wants to go out with him. Johan has difficulty walking, but he can walk short distances with a walker and longer distances with a wheelchair. Johan also has an electric tricycle, which he likes to go out with. And Johan likes a good conversation. During a walk in nature or with beautiful classical music in the background. He has always traveled far and wide and can tell you all about it. Johan is a calm and friendly man with a sense of humor. He can also be stubborn, but that's not a bad thing at all. A little patience is required, because Johan is hard of hearing and suffers from spasms. Sometimes he is difficult to understand. In addition, he has post-covid, which means that his energy sometimes runs out quickly. But don't let this stop you. We understand that you may be thinking, can I do that? But we are all the same. Johan just needs a little more support due to his congenital brain injury. Are you open to a good conversation about long-distance travel, classical music and do you also enjoy walking or cycling through nature? Do you have about 2 hours to volunteer for Johan, twice a month? Then please contact us! Days and times are of course negotiable. It is important to know that we request a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) and that you will receive the right tools to support Johan as best as possible. We also make agreements in consultation, so that we know what to expect from each other.

But not only that. I like to go for a walk or cook together. Because unfortunately I can no longer do all this on my own. Despite the fact that I can no longer do it all on my own, I am positive and I like to do things. It is now difficult for me to make contact with other young people. I miss the fun of a peer. Someone I can talk to and do things together. Because my Dutch is not very good, I would like it if you could speak Polish. That would be easier. I am looking for someone who is open to sharing his with me and who is willing to do fun things together for 1 or 2 hours a week. Whether it's during a fun game of gaming, a quiet walk through the city or preparing a meal. I'm looking for friendship, not obligation. And I hope that someone with the same interest is willing to spend a few hours a week with me every now and then.
