Donate bicycles for the children's bicycle plan

Once · 0 to 1 hours

Do you, like the ANWB, think it is important that every child in the Netherlands has access to a bicycle? Then we could really use your help. Donate a bicycle or use your own network to collect bicycles. Organize a collection campaign at school, work, sports club or neighborhood association. Annoying? No not really! An action is in an instant. Why? Unfortunately, having their own bicycle is not a given for every child. Not all parents can afford a bicycle for their child. This forces children to stand still. Literal. Having a bicycle is necessary to participate. It expands a child's world in ways you can't imagine. Collecting is done in no time ✅ Participate? Register and receive all the information to organize a fundraising campaign.

Donate your old sleeping bag for the homeless

Once · 1 to 1 hours

Tens of thousands of people will sleep in the cold tonight. Donate old sleeping bags and help the homeless through the night! Sheltersuit turns it into a wind and waterproof jacket with a zip-on sleeping bag, for anyone who is forced to sleep outside. ⚡ You will do this Every sleeping bag counts when you're literally out in the cold. So clean up your attic and that of others and collect all old sleeping bags. You can donate these at all Het Goed thrift stores in your area. Note: not every sleeping bag is usable. These are good: • Synthetic thick and thin sleeping bags; • Preferably washed and should be of somewhat good looking; • The zipper may be broken; • The liner must not be broken; • Down/wool sleeping bags cannot be donated, unfortunately. You can hand in your old sleeping bags with every acceptance of goods at one of the 28 thrift stores of Het Goed. 🌙 For this you make all the difference Sheltersuit helps homeless people and refugees who are forced to sleep outside. Due to the increasing demand from aid organizations at home and abroad, no less than 16,500 sleeping bags are needed. By handing in a sleeping bag to Het Goed you make it possible that our social workshops can continue to make Sheltersuits and thus create permanent work. Will you lend a hand? You really make a difference with it and it also makes your attic happy. Thank you in advance!

Caps for guide dogs for the blind

Once · 0 to 1 hours

KNGF geleidehonden

Did you know that plastic caps can be valuable? At least for us at KNGF Guide Dogs. We receive compensation for every kilogram of caps collected. So instead of throwing away the caps from soft drinks and milk cartons, why not hand them in at one of our collection points? By doing so, you're not only supporting the training of our guide dogs, but also helping to protect the environment. Together, all the caps collected have generated tens of thousands of euros. Here's how it works: Step 1: Send us a message expressing your interest in participating, and we'll provide you with all the necessary information. Step 2: Collect as many caps as possible! Step 3: Drop off the caps at a collection point near you. That's it! You've made a significant impact, benefiting both the guide dogs and the environment. It's a win-win situation! Thank you very much for your support, and good luck with your collection efforts! #challenge

Accessibility walk [from 10 minutes]

Once · 0 to 1 hours

Do you also think it is important that everyone can 'roll out the door'? Then help with this Wheelmap challenge, where you map out where that is possible (or not). 🦽 Why is this important Going to the toilet, a shop, restaurant, event or even just crossing the street... it is not obvious or even possible for everyone. If you literally roll through life, for example with a walker, stroller or wheelchair, you will encounter different types of thresholds. Those literal thresholds are a great shame: we can prevent them together. 📍What can you do The Wheelmap app maps which places are accessible, or not. This way, users of the app know where they can go and which (or how) to avoid. You can help by updating the Wheelmap app. That is super easy: take a walk and log what is not accessible. Super simple! click on 'I'm participating' so that we know that you want to take on the challenge. Then we will also send you the information on how it works. Good luck and thank you!
